How ot use

Way to get Storyboard Class

1. Create storyboard file in your project.

2. Import StoryboardBuilder_iOS.
3. Your custom view controller extends StoryboardBuilderProtocol.
4. storyboardName and storyboardID are implemented in that view controller.

import UIKit
import Foundation
import StoryboardBuilder_iOS

class CustomViewController: UIViewController, StoryboardBuilderProtocol {
    static var storyboardName: String = "Main"
    static var storyboardID: String = "CustomViewController"
    ...
}

You can use such as following.

/* You can generate CustomViewController just like following.
    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    let customeVC = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "CustomViewController") as! CustomViewController
**/

let customViewController = CustomViewController.getModule()

Way to get Xib Class

1. Create xib file in your project.

2. Import StoryboardBuilder_iOS.
3. Your custom view controller extends XibBuilderProtocol.
4. xibNameis implemented in that view controller.

import UIKit
import Foundation
import StoryboardBuilder_iOS

class CustomView: UIView, XibBuilderProtocol {
    static var xibName: String = "CustomView"
    ...
}

You can use such as following.

/* You can generate CustomView just like following.
   let identifier = "CustomView"
   let customViewNib = UINib(nibName: identifier, bundle: nil)
   let customView = customViewNib.instantiate(withOwner: self, options: nil).first as! CustomView
**/

let customView: CustomView = CustomView.getModule()

You can register and use CustomTableViewCell.

class CustomViewCell: UITableViewCell, XibBuilderProtocol {
    static var xibName: String = "CustomView"
    ...
}

class TableViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
    @IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        
        self.tableView.delegate = self
        self.tableView.dataSource = self
        self.tableView.sb.register(cellClass: CustomViewCell.self)
        self.tableView.sb.register(cellClasses: [
            CustomViewACell.self,
            CustomViewBCell.self,
            CustomViewCCell.self,
        ])
    }
    
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.sb.dequeueReusableCell(cellClass: CustomViewBCell.self)

        ...
        
        return cell
    }
}
