I want my table list to have a swipe-able menu like in iOS 8 (first introduced in iOS 7).

Screenshot of table view cell action buttons

I've found a Ray Wenderlich guide that is clear on how to do it, but it was written a year and 4 months ago and the code is in Objective-C.

Did iOS 8 or the upcoming iOS 9 finally include this function in Apple's SDK? I know they made the "swipe to reveal delete function" built-in years ago. I don't want to waste my time implementing patched-together code to mimic the iOS 8 mail function, if Apple's new iOS is going to hand it to me in a neatly wrapped package.


Try this, updated for Swift 3 (Developer Docs)

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let more = UITableViewRowAction(style: .normal, title: "More") { action, index in
        print("more button tapped")
    }
    more.backgroundColor = .lightGray
    
    let favorite = UITableViewRowAction(style: .normal, title: "Favorite") { action, index in
        print("favorite button tapped")
    }
    favorite.backgroundColor = .orange
    
    let share = UITableViewRowAction(style: .normal, title: "Share") { action, index in
        print("share button tapped")
    }
    share.backgroundColor = .blue
    
    return [share, favorite, more]
}

Also implement this: (You can make it conditional, but here everything is editable)

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

This code is work for me in the swift4.

Answer of the above screen is:-

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
                   trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration?
    {
        // Write action code for the trash
        let TrashAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title:  "Trash", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
            print("Update action ...")
            success(true)
        })
        TrashAction.backgroundColor = .red

        // Write action code for the Flag
        let FlagAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title:  "Flag", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
            print("Update action ...")
            success(true)
        })
        FlagAction.backgroundColor = .orange

        // Write action code for the More
        let MoreAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title:  "More", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
            print("Update action ...")
            success(true)
        })
        MoreAction.backgroundColor = .gray


        return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [TrashAction,FlagAction,MoreAction])
    }

Answer of the above screen:-

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
                   leadingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration?
    {

        let closeAction = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title:  "Mark as Read", handler: { (ac:UIContextualAction, view:UIView, success:(Bool) -> Void) in
            print("CloseAction ...")
            success(true)
        })
        closeAction.backgroundColor = .blue
        return UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [closeAction])

    }

Write tableview Delegate method likewise:-

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return arrPerson.count
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
        let personName = arrPerson[indexPath.row]
        cell.textLabel?.text = personName.personName
        return cell

    }

And in the viewDidLoad

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    tblView.delegate = self
    tblView.dataSource = self

    let person1 = personData(personName: "Jonny", personAge: 30)
    let person2 = personData(personName: "Chandan", personAge: 20)
    let person3 = personData(personName: "Gopal", personAge: 28)

   arrPerson.append(person1)
   arrPerson.append(person2)
   arrPerson.append(person3)

}
