cewendel/swtableviewcell

On iOS, scrollable lists of items are built using a component called a table view, where each row is a cell. This Objective-C library adds swipe gestures to those cells, letting users reveal hidden action buttons by swiping left or right on a row, the same behavior you see in the built-in Mail and Reminders apps. Swipe left on a cell and buttons appear on the right side. Swipe right and buttons appear on the left. You can add as many buttons as you want to either side, and the library automatically adjusts their size so they all fit. Each button can have a text label, a colored background, or an icon image. When the user taps a button, a delegate method fires so your code can respond to whichever button was pressed. The library also handles an edge case that the built-in behavior gets wrong: if a user taps the cell while the buttons are visible, the cell slides back to its original position instead of triggering the cell's selection event. This matches how the iOS Mail app works, where accidentally touching a swiped-open cell does not open the underlying item. The library works with both standard table view cells and custom-designed cells built with Interface Builder. Adding it to a project is done either through CocoaPods, which is a package manager for iOS projects, or by copying the source files directly into your Xcode project. This library targets iOS 6.1 and later, including iOS 7. Given its age and the Objective-C language it uses, it is primarily relevant to older iOS projects or developers maintaining legacy apps rather than new projects using Swift.
