UITableView - scroll to the top

Question

In my table view I have to scroll to the top. But I cannot guarantee that the first object is going to be section 0, row 0. May be that my table view will start from section

Answer 1

I've encountered an issue calling trying some of the methods on an empty tableView. Here's another option for Swift 4 that handles empty tableviews.

extension UITableView {
  func hasRowAtIndexPath(indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return indexPath.section < self.numberOfSections && indexPath.row < self.numberOfRows(inSection: indexPath.section)
  }

  func scrollToTop(animated: Bool) {
    let indexPath = IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0)
    if self.hasRowAtIndexPath(indexPath: indexPath) {
      self.scrollToRow(at: indexPath, at: .top, animated: animated)
    }
  }
}

Usage:

// from yourViewController or yourTableViewController
tableView.scrollToTop(animated: true)//or false
