UITableViewCell Buttons with action

Question

Hi I have a custom UITableViewCell with three buttons to handle a shopping cart function, Plus,Minus and Delete button and I need to know which cell has been touched.

Answer 1

I came across the same problem after making the IBOutlets private as has been broadly suggested by the community.

Here is my solution:

< In your cell class >

protocol YourCellDelegate: class {
    func didTapButton(_ sender: UIButton)
}

class YourCell: UITableViewCell {

    weak var delegate: YourCellDelegate?

    @IBAction func buttonTapped(_ sender: UIButton) {
        delegate?.didTapButton(sender)
    }
}

< In your ViewController >

class ViewController: UIViewController, YourCellDelegate {

    func didTapButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
        if let indexPath = getCurrentCellIndexPath(sender) {
            item = items[indexPath.row]
        }
    }

    func getCurrentCellIndexPath(_ sender: UIButton) -> IndexPath? {
        let buttonPosition = sender.convert(CGPoint.zero, to: tableView)
        if let indexPath: IndexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: buttonPosition) {
            return indexPath
        }
        return nil
    }
}
