Best practices for designing table view for app settings?

Question

For my app\'s settings view controller, I want to have a table view with a bunch of options the user can tweak. Toggle switches, segues, steppers, etc.

What\'s the best

Answer 1

Since you're using this for settings, have you considered InAppSettingsKit?

In cases where that may be overkill, I have resorted to creating a static tableview in a storyboard where I can layout each distinct setting and have design-time control over its appearance.

Answer 2

I don't like the idea that I have to debug someone else's code if incase i didn't like something in it. That's why I try to write code on my own and then see if it fits my needs or not. If it doesn't then I would go and take a look at InAppSettingsKit.

What you have asked for is a very simple stuff and I have implemented in almost every app of mine i.e. UITableView with options.

this is how I would do it. You can do all this straight up in xcode.

• Create a UITableView Controller
• Make it a navigation controller. So that you can add heading on it like with word "settings"
• Change it to static cells
• Then change it to grouped cells
• Create as many groups as you need
• For each cell add switches as needed
• Add footer and header to each grouping
• Add pretty pictures next to each option as you like.

I hope this helps. Here is one of my sample project settings screenshot. You cannot see header and footer that I had created.
