Usage

Set the delegate property on SwipeTableViewCell:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "Cell") as! SwipeTableViewCell
    cell.delegate = self
    return cell
}

Adopt the SwipeTableViewCellDelegate protocol:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, for orientation: SwipeActionsOrientation) -> [SwipeAction]? {
    guard orientation == .right else { return nil }

    let deleteAction = SwipeAction(style: .destructive, title: "Delete") { action, indexPath in
        // handle action by updating model with deletion
    }

    // customize the action appearance
    deleteAction.image = UIImage(named: "delete")

    return [deleteAction]
}

Optionally, you can implement the editActionsOptionsForRowAt method to customize the behavior of the swipe actions:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsOptionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath, for orientation: SwipeActionsOrientation) -> SwipeTableOptions {
    var options = SwipeTableOptions()
    options.expansionStyle = .destructive
    options.transitionStyle = .border
    return options
}

Transitions

Three built-in transition styles are provided by SwipeTransitionStyle:

• .border: The visible action area is equally divide between all action buttons.
• .drag: The visible action area is dragged, pinned to the cell, with each action button fully sized as it is exposed.
• .reveal: The visible action area sits behind the cell, pinned to the edge of the table view, and is revealed as the cell is dragged aside.

See Customizing Transitions for more details on customizing button appearance as the swipe is performed.

Transition Delegate

Transition for a SwipeAction can be observered by setting a SwipeActionTransitioning on the transitionDelegate property. This allows you to observe what percentage is visible and access to the underlying UIButton for that SwipeAction.

Expansion

Four built-in expansion styles are provided by SwipeExpansionStyle:

• .selection
• .destructive (like Mail.app)
• .destructiveAfterFill (like Mailbox/Tweetbot)
• .fill

Much effort has gone into making SwipeExpansionStyle extremely customizable. If these built-in styles do not meet your needs, see Customizing Expansion for more details on creating custom styles.

The built-in .fill expansion style requires manual action fulfillment. This means your action handler must call SwipeAction.fulfill(style:) at some point during or after invocation to resolve the fill expansion. The supplied ExpansionFulfillmentStyle allows you to delete or reset the cell at some later point (possibly after further user interaction).

The built-in .destructive, and .destructiveAfterFill expansion styles are configured to automatically perform row deletion when the action handler is invoked (automatic fulfillment). Your deletion behavior may require coordination with other row animations (eg. inside beginUpdates and endUpdates). In this case, you can easily create a custom SwipeExpansionStyle which requires manual fulfillment to trigger deletion:

var options = SwipeTableOptions()
options.expansionStyle = .destructive(automaticallyDelete: false)

NOTE: You must call SwipeAction.fulfill(with style:) at some point while/after your action handler is invoked to trigger deletion. Do not call deleteRows directly.

let delete = SwipeAction(style: .destructive, title: nil) { action, indexPath in
    // Update model
    self.emails.remove(at: indexPath.row)
    action.fulfill(with: .delete)
}
