Creating Sections

[johnallen24]

Hi

Just wondering if it is possible to create sections with section headers like in a UITableView?

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the very late reply. It won't work out of the box, since DropDownMenu.menuCells is a flat array.

To work around this, you can probably do something along these lines:

• subclass DropDownMenu
• add variable menuCellsBySection that gets updated every time menuCells is updated
• override the following UITableViewDataSource/Delegate methods to use menuCellsBySection
  • numberOfSections(in:)
  • tableView(_:, numberOfRowsInSection:)
  • tableView(_:, heightForRowAt:)
  • tableView(_:, cellForRowAt:)
  • `tableView(_:, shouldHighlightRowAt:)``
  • tableView(_:, didSelectRowAt:)
• override selectMenuCell(_:) to take in account the section

It's probably not exactly easy to do, but if you take a look at the source code, it should be doable.

In the long run, DropDownMenuKit could support sections out of the box or I might tweak the API to simplify the workaround above.
