StateViewController
A UIViewController subclass for iOS/tvOS that manages child view controllers based on state, helping solve the Massive View Controller problem.
What is StateViewController?
StateViewController is a container view controller for iOS and tvOS that presents different child view controllers based on defined states, such as loading, list, or editing. It manages child view controller lifecycles and state transitions, enabling modularization and reusability while staying within Apple's MVC pattern. This approach helps reduce view controller complexity without abandoning UIKit's primary design paradigm.
iOS and tvOS developers building complex view controllers who want to modularize their code and manage state-driven UI changes while adhering to Apple's MVC pattern. It's particularly useful for those dealing with the 'Massive View Controller' problem in UIKit-based apps.
Developers choose StateViewController because it provides a structured way to modularize view controllers and reduce complexity while maintaining full compatibility with UIKit's MVC pattern, avoiding the need to adopt alternative architectural patterns like MVVM or MVP. Its built-in lifecycle management and animated transition support offer a seamless way to handle state-based UI changes.
