Question 1

How to handle dynamic cell heights with Shoyu?

Accepted Answer

Shoyu allows setting row heights via the heightFor closure on row objects, supporting dynamic calculations. However, it doesn't automatically size cells like UITableView.automaticDimension without custom logic, so you need to implement height logic manually.

Question 2

Shoyu vs UITableViewDiffableDataSource: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Shoyu provides a declarative API for traditional UITableView setups with more control, while UITableViewDiffableDataSource (iOS 13+) offers automatic updates with diffing. Choose Shoyu for Swift-idiomatic code and manual management, or DiffableDataSource for simplified data synchronization.

Question 3

Can I use Shoyu with SwiftUI?

Accepted Answer

No, Shoyu is designed for UIKit and UITableView, so it's not compatible with SwiftUI's List. For SwiftUI, you'd need to use native SwiftUI components or bridge to UIKit with UIViewRepresentable, which adds complexity.

Question 4

How to implement swipe-to-delete in Shoyu?

Accepted Answer

Shoyu supports table editing through delegate methods like canRemove and didRemove on row objects. Configure these closures to enable swipe-to-delete and handle deletion logic, centralizing the code compared to scattered delegate methods.

Question 5

Is Shoyu good for large datasets or complex tables?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Shoyu can handle large datasets efficiently with batch creation and type-safe configuration. However, for extremely complex tables with frequent updates, monitor performance due to closure overhead and ensure proper data management.

Question 6

How to integrate Shoyu with Core Data or other data sources?

Accepted Answer

Shoyu works with any data source by creating rows from arrays in closures. For Core Data, fetch objects and use createRows to map them, but Shoyu doesn't provide built-in observation for data changes, so you need to manually update the source when data changes.
