How to add a section header to a table view
Swift version: 5.6
You can use the built-in iOS table section headers by returning a value from titleForHeaderInSection like this:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return "Section \(section)"
}If you want to return a custom header view with something more than just some text, you should use viewForHeaderInSection instead, like this:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let vw = UIView()
vw.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
return vw
}
