A Swift library for implementing collapsible sections in iOS table views with configurable collapse behavior.
CollapsibleTableSectionViewController is a Swift library for iOS that enables developers to easily add collapsible and expandable sections to UITableView. It solves the problem of manually managing section states and animations, providing a reusable solution for creating accordion-style tables or hierarchical data displays.
iOS developers building apps with UITableView who need to implement expandable/collapsible sections, such as for settings menus, FAQ sections, or data categorization interfaces.
Developers choose this library because it eliminates the repetitive code required for collapsible table sections, offers configurable behaviors like accordion mode, and integrates seamlessly with existing UITableView workflows through familiar delegate patterns.
:tada: Swift library to support collapsible sections in a table view.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses protocols similar to UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate, reducing learning curve for iOS developers, as shown in the README's delegate method examples.
Supports toggling default collapsed state and accordion-style single expansion via optional delegate methods like shouldCollapseByDefault and shouldCollapseOthers.
Handles cell height adjustments during expansion and collapse automatically, eliminating manual layout code, as mentioned in the auto-resizing feature.
Encapsulates section state management, reducing repetitive code for collapsible logic, aligning with its minimalistic philosophy.
Does not support UICollectionView, restricting use to UITableView-only projects and missing modern collection-based layouts.
Advertised for Swift 4.2, which may require migration efforts for projects on newer Swift versions, and lack of updates could lead to compatibility issues.
Forces use of CollapsibleTableSectionViewController subclass, which can conflict with existing architectures like MVVM or coordinator patterns.
Offers only essential functionality, lacking advanced customizations such as animated transitions beyond default or integration with SwiftUI.
