example:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UITableViewController {

override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {

return 2;

}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

return 0 == section ? 3 : 2

}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell") ?? UITableViewCell(style: .default, reuseIdentifier: "cell")

cell.textLabel?.text = "\(indexPath.section + 1): \(indexPath.row + 1)"

return cell;

}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {

return 0 == section ? "First" : "Second"

}

}

As an iOS Developer I have worked with table views in 3 Different methods, but in this brief description I will only cover one.

1. Dragging a UITableViewController from the object library
2. Dragging a UITableView from the object library and placing it within a ViewController
3. Creating a UITableView object programmatically, then adding it as a subview.

• Create your view controller that will have a UITableView as one of its subViews
• Declare the cell identifier as a file private variable because it will be use a couple of times in the file.
• Declare the tableView object.

• Create a private function called that will setup the tableView object by registering a cell, adding the tableView object to the view, configuring constraints, and setting the datasource and delegate properties to the view.

• Datasouce
• The UITableViewDataSource protocol is adopted by an object that mediates the application’™s data model for a UITableView object. The data source provides the table-view object with the information it needs to construct and modify a table view.
• Delegate
• The delegate of a UITableView object must adopt the UITableViewDelegateprotocol. Optional methods of the protocol allow the delegate to manage selections, configure section headings and footers, help to delete and reorder cells, and perform other actions.

To summarize this was the third method on how to work with iOS TableViews in Swift. Creating the tableView object programmatically, setting up the object, adding it to the view and implementing the datasource and delegate methods.

For the web, I don’t think it’s worth the trouble getting hung up with all the issues tables bring to the… er, um… arena. There are plenty of other solutions for layout shifting in responsive design, especially with flexbox, that don’t involve forcing content into non-semantic containers.

If it’s tabular data then use a table. Although, responsive tables have issues too - figuring out the design decisions, interface and code to display a ten column table on a handheld device is still a challenge.

However, switching the table-header-group to display: table-footer-group in a media query is a great technique for responsive HTML emails where source order shifting is necessary. Everything is in tables anyway, and you can easily move a navigation header from the top of your content in desktop, to the bottom of your content on a mobile, without any JavaScript trickery.

See the technique and the code here: Responsive Email Patterns
