WrkstrmKit 🧰

WrkstrmKit is a Swift library that provides a set of utilities and extensions for building flexible and reusable UICollectionView-based interfaces in iOS applications.

✨ Features

• 🧩 Generic collection view data source
• 🎨 Customizable collection view cells
• 🔄 SwiftUI integration with UICollectionView
• 📦 Easy cell registration and dequeuing
• 🏗️ Support for supplementary views

🧱 Components

CollectionViewCell

A base class for collection view cells that can hold a model and a weak reference to a delegate view controller.

CollectionViewController

A generic view controller for managing collection views with a specific model type conforming to CollectionViewDisplayable.

CollectionViewDataSource

A flexible data source for UICollectionView that handles cell configuration and supplementary views.

CollectionViewDisplayable

A protocol that defines the requirements for models that can be displayed in a collection view.

HostingCollectionViewCell

A collection view cell that can host SwiftUI views, allowing for seamless integration of SwiftUI content in UICollectionView-based interfaces.

UICollectionView Extensions

• add(_:): Adds a registrar to register cell classes and nibs.
• register(nib:) and register(classes:): Convenience methods for registering multiple cell types.
• dequeueReusableCell(_:for:): Type-safe cell dequeuing.

🚀 Usage

1. Create a model that conforms to CollectionViewDisplayable.
2. Implement custom collection view cells as needed.
3. Use CollectionViewController or create your own controller that uses CollectionViewDataSource.
4. Configure your data source and set it to your collection view.

💻 Example

class MyModel: CollectionViewDisplayable {
    // Implement required methods
}

class MyViewController: CollectionViewController<MyModel> {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        displayableModel = MyModel()
    }
}
