UITableView reload section

Question

I want to reload only one section not the full table. Is there any method in UITableView.

[tableView reloadData] is used to load full table

Answer 1

But you can reload only sections which contain same number of rows (or you have to manually add or remove them). Otherwise you will get an NSInternalInconsistencyException.

Steps:

1. calculate which rows to remove and/or insert
2. generate an IndexPath array from these
3. call related tableView methods

now you can safely call reloadSections :) Reload section will call update for the rest of the indexes.

Or you can use a library like : https://github.com/onmyway133/DeepDiff

Swift pseodo code:

        tableView.deleteRows(at: valueIndexesToRemove, with: .automatic)
        tableView.insertRows(at: valueIndexesToInsert, with: .automatic)
        tableView.reloadSections(IndexSet([section]), with: .automatic)
