How to make textfield with pop out table view - swift

Question

Hi I am looking to make a pop out table view similar to the one below and with selectable cells. Any help would be great thanks!
Here is what I would like to style it after

You will want to make use of UIPopoverPresentationController.
Make a tableviewController with the data you want to be able to select
Make a button that will send the action so you can present the popover
Do something with the item selected from the popover.
The second item above looks something like this (my own code example):
#IBAction func shareAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
let controller = ShareVC()
controller.socialPost = self.item
controller.modalPresentationStyle = .popover
// configure the Popover presentation controller
let popController: UIPopoverPresentationController? = controller.popoverPresentationController
popController?.permittedArrowDirections = [.up, .down]
popController?.delegate = self
// in case we don't have a bar button as reference
popController?.sourceView = sender
popController?.sourceRect = sender.frame
popController?.backgroundColor = .white
self.parentViewController?.present(controller, animated: true, completion: { })
}
In my case the 'ShareVC" is a UITableViewController with item sharing options. Pretty similar to your screenshot as far as layout goes.
This will present that popover from the button that was tapped. Then again, you just need to handle the selection of the items from that ViewController.
