WLEmptyState is an iOS based component that lets you customize the message when the dataset of UITableView is empty. We created a sample project with the WLEmptyState component to show how you can use it.

To run the Example project:

1. Clone the repo with the following command:

   git clone [email protected]:wizeline/WLEmptyState.git

2. Move to the Example directory and run the following command:

   pod install

WLEmptyState is available through CocoaPods. To install it, add the following command to your Podfile:

pod 'WLEmptyState'

The WLEmptyState component uses Method Swizzling. Therefore, to configure WLEmptyState, follow these steps:

1. Import the module in the AppDelegate class by adding import WLEmptyState.

2. Call the static method configure() on application(_ application:, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) method.

   Your AppDelegate class should look like this:

   import WLEmptyState
       ...
   func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
       WLEmptyState.configure()
       return true
   }

Once you have configured WLEmptyState, you can use it for your UITableViewController. You need to conform the WLEmptyStateDataSource protocol. For example,

class YourTableViewController: UITableViewController, WLEmptyStateDataSource {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        tableView.emptyStateDataSource = self
    }

}

After you run your project with an empty dataset for a table, you'll be able to see a default WLEmptyState view.

Default Image

If you want to customize the text, description, or image, you need to implement the WLEmptyStateDataSource function. You can find the code for customization in the following list:

• Customize Image

func imageForEmptyDataSet() -> UIImage? {
    return UIImage(named: "bubble_icon")
}

• Customize Title

func titleForEmptyDataSet() -> NSAttributedString {
    let title = NSAttributedString(string: "No messages", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .headline)])
    return title
}

• Customize Description

func descriptionForEmptyDataSet() -> NSAttributedString {
    let title = NSAttributedString(string: "There's no messages to show.", attributes: [NSAttributedString.Key.font: UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .caption1)])
    return title
}

Customized Image
