Suggestion: Propagating actions from cell

[wow-such-amazing]

Hey! :)
It would be nice to have some default mechanism for propagating actions from cell to view controller. One approach that I use is this. Maybe it could be a start point

protocol MyCellDelegate: class {
    fun didTapButton(inside cell: UITableViewCell)
}

final class MyClass: UITableViewCell {
    weak var delegate: MyCellDelegate?

    // This way I need first pass this delegate into adapter initialiser
    func configure(with model: MyCellModel, delegate: MyCellDelegate) {
        self.delegate = delegate
    }

    @IBAction func didTapButton(_ sender: Any) {
        guard let model = model else { return }
        delegate?.didTapButton(inside: self)
    }
}

final class MyViewController: UIViewController, MyCellDelegate {
    func didTapButton(inside cell: UITableViewCell) {
        guard 
            let indexPath = tableView.indexPath(for: cell),
            let model = director.section(at: indexPath.section)?.models[indexPath.item]
        else { return }
        // do some action with model
    }
}

Also there is a library that simplifies work with UITableView. But it doesn't provide mechanism to work with UICollectionView. What it has is CustomActions for cells.
It uses NotificationCenter to invoke actions:

Or maybe UIResponder chain could be used for this purpose. What do you think about these approaches? I can make a PR once we decide on a way how to do that :)

Hi,
I'll be more than happy to look at PR. It could be a nice addition.
However I've moved the framework to a new repository; the official name is Owl: https://github.com/malcommac/Owl.
It introduces several changes and a definitive APIs set. If you want we can continue in it.
Thanks again
