Inherits from UITableViewController
Conforms to UIPopoverControllerDelegate
Declared in SCTableViewController.h

Overview

This class functions as a means to simplify development with SCTableViewModel.

SCTableViewController conveniently provides several ready made navigation bar types based on SCNavigationBarType, provided that it is a subview of a navigation controller. SCTableViewController also defines placeholders for a tableView and a tableViewModel that the user can allocate and assign. If a tableViewModel is defined, SCTableViewController also connects its doneButton (if present) to tableViewModel’s commitButton automatically.

In addition, SCTableViewController fully manages memory warnings and makes sure the assigned table view is released once a memory warning occurs and reloaded once the view controller is loaded once more.

Finally, SCTableViewController provides several useful actions (SCTableViewControllerActions) and delegate methods (SCTableViewControllerDelegate) that notify the delegate object of events like the view appearing or disappearing.

Note: You do NOT have to use SCTableViewController in order to be able to use SCTableViewModel, but it’s highly recommended that you do so whenever you need a UITableViewController.

Tasks

Configuration

  •   tableViewModel

    Contains a valid SCTableViewModel that is associated with tableView and ready to use. If this model is replaced by a custom one, the class will automatically take care of associating it with tableView.

    property
  •   navigationBarType

    The type of the navigation bar.

    property
  •   addButton

    The navigation bar’s Add button. Only contains a value if the button exists on the bar.

    property
  •   editButton

    The editButtonItem of ‘SCTableViewController’’s superclass.

    property
  •   cancelButton

    The navigation bar’s Cancel button. Only contains a value if the button exists on the bar.

    property
  •   allowEditingModeCancelButton

    Set to TRUE to allow the cancel button to appear when entering editing mode. Default: TRUE. @note: Only applicable if navigationBarType == SCNavigationBarTypeEditRight.

    property
  •   doneButton

    The navigation bar’s Done button. Only contains a value if the button exists on the bar.

    property
  •   buttonsToolbar

    The toolbar that holds more than one button when needed (e.g. when navigationBarType==SCNavigationBarTypeAddEditRight).

    property
  •   popoverController

    If the view controller is presented from within a popover controller, this property must be set to it. When set, the view controller takes over the delegate of the popover controller.

    property
  •   actions

    The set of view controller action blocks.

    property
  •   state

    The current state of the view controller.

    property

Managing Button Events

  •   cancelButtonTapped

    Property is TRUE if the view controller have been dismissed due to the user tapping the Cancel button. This property is useful if you do not with to subclass this view controller. See also SCTableViewControllerDelegate to get notified when the view controller is dismissed.

    property
  •   doneButtonTapped

    Property is TRUE if the view controller have been dismissed due to the user tapping the Done button. This property is useful if you do not with to subclass this view controller. See also SCTableViewControllerDelegate to get notified when the view controller is dismissed.

dismissWithCancelValue:doneValue:

Dismisses the view controller with the specified values for cancel and done.

- (void)dismissWithCancelValue:(BOOL)cancelValue doneValue:(BOOL)doneValue

Declared In

SCTableViewController.h

doneButtonAction

Method gets called when the Done button is tapped. If what you want is to get notified when the Cancel button gets tapped without subclassing ‘SCTableViewController’, consider using SCTableViewControllerDelegate.
