Question 1

How to add pull-to-refresh to a UITableView using ESPullToRefresh?

Accepted Answer

Import ESPullToRefresh, then call `tableView.es.addPullToRefresh` with a closure for your refresh logic. Use `tableView.es.stopPullToRefresh` to end it. The README shows a simple example with default styling.

Question 2

Can ESPullToRefresh be used with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, ESPullToRefresh is built for UIKit and requires UIScrollView. For SwiftUI, you'll need to wrap it in a UIViewRepresentable or use native SwiftUI alternatives, as it doesn't support SwiftUI directly.

Question 3

ESPullToRefresh vs MJRefresh: which is better for iOS?

Accepted Answer

ESPullToRefresh offers more customization through protocols and expiration features, while MJRefresh has a larger community and more pre-built animations. Choose ESPullToRefresh for flexibility and MJRefresh for ease with ready-made styles.

Question 4

How to create a custom refresh animator in ESPullToRefresh?

Accepted Answer

Create a class conforming to both ESRefreshProtocol and ESRefreshAnimatorProtocol, implement methods for animation states, and pass an instance to `addPullToRefresh(animator:)`. The demo includes examples like the MeiTuan effect for reference.

Question 5

Does ESPullToRefresh support auto-refresh based on time intervals?

Accepted Answer

Yes, set a `refreshIdentifier` and `expiredTimeInterval` on the scroll view, then call `es.autoPullToRefresh()` to trigger refreshes when the cache is older than the interval. This is detailed in the expiration support section.

Question 6

How to remove the infinite scrolling footer in ESPullToRefresh?

Accepted Answer

Call `tableView.es.removeRefreshFooter()` to programmatically remove the footer. This is useful for dynamically disabling infinite scrolling, as mentioned in the remove methods part of the README.
