How to make optional images in a UITableViewCell? - swift

Question

Hi I'm making an app with UIkit and I'm having a problem trying to achieve the layout of a cell.
What I want is to make a cell that has an image header, a stack of user images, and a label. I place this cell in a UITableView. The problem I'm having is that the image header is optional so if it's not there I need it to display like the cell shown below in the attached image.
Can someone who has more knowledge in UIkit help me please?

Answer 1

let suppose you have struct that use to populate tableview
struct User {
let name:String
let headerImage:UIImage? // an optional image
}
your controller
class ViewController:UIViewController {
var users = [User]()
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return users.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if let image = users[indexPath.row].image {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "UserHeaderCell", for: indexPath) as! UserHeaderCell
return cell
} else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "UserSimpleCell", for: indexPath) as! UserSimpleCell
return cell
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
if let image = users[indexPath.row].image {
return 100 // with image
}
return 50 // without image
}
}
make two cell one for header image and one for simple
class UserHeaderCell:UITableViewCell {
}
class UserSimpleCell:UITableViewCell {
}
