I am trying to create a generic implementation of UITableViewDataSource. Internally, a DataSource implementation uses the NSFetchedResultsController to retrieve data. Here is my current code.
extension UITableViewCell {
class var reuseIdentifier: String {
return toString(self).componentsSeparatedByString(".").last!
}
}
class ManagedDataSource<CellType: UITableViewCell, ItemType>: NSObject, NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
var fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest {
get {
return fetchedResultsController.fetchRequest
}
set {
fetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: newValue, managedObjectContext: HMServicesManager.mainContext(), sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil)
}
}
private var fetchedResultsController: NSFetchedResultsController {
didSet {
fetchedResultsController.delegate = self
}
}
private let configureCell: (item: ItemType, cell: CellType) -> ()
private weak var tableView: UITableView?
init(fetchRequest: NSFetchRequest,
tableView: UITableView,
tableViewCellType cellType: CellType.Type,
itemType: ItemType.Type,
configureCell: (item: ItemType, cell: CellType) -> ()) {
self.tableView = tableView
self.configureCell = configureCell
fetchedResultsController = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: fetchRequest, managedObjectContext: HMServicesManager.mainContext(), sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil)
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(CellType.reuseIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CellType
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 0
}
}
The implementation of the UITableViewDataSource and the implementation of NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate are currently incomplete, but this is not my problem. I get a compiler error in the definition of the ManagedDataSource class:
The type "ManagedDataSource" does not conform to the "UITableViewDataSource" protocol
