Reusable v2.2.0 Release Notes

    • ➕ Added optional viewType & cellType parameters to the dequeue functions.
      @k3zi #11

    This parameter is only needed if you can't write … as MyCell (to let Swift infer the cell type from the return type), which might be the case for example when your cell class is stored in a variable:

    let cellType: Any.Type = self.cellTypeForIndexPath(indexPath)
// Can't do this in this case (because cellType is a variable):
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(indexPath: indexPath) as cellType ❌ // compiler error
// But now we can use that alternate way for such cases:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(indexPath: indexPath, cellType: cellType)

    But if you know the type at compile time, you can omit the cellType parameter and still do this, letting the return type infer it for you:

    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(indexPath: indexPath) as MyCell
