Add swipe to delete UITableViewCell

Question

Add these two functions:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
    }
}

Swift 3.0:

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

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
    }
}

Swift 4.2

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

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCell.EditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == .delete) {
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
    }
}

You can try this:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, commitEditingStyle editingStyle:   UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete) {
        NamesTable.beginUpdates()
        Names.removeAtIndex(indexPath!.row)
        NamesTable.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: nil)
        NamesTable.endUpdates()

    }
}

If you're supporting iOS11+ please see the discussion:

Use the performBatchUpdates(_:completion:) method instead of this one whenever possible.

Another way that allows you to change the text of "Delete" and add more buttons when sliding a cell is to use editActionsForRowAtIndexPath.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(tableView: (UITableView!), commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: (NSIndexPath!)) {

}

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [AnyObject]? {

    var deleteAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "Delete") {action in
       //handle delete
    }

    var editAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Normal, title: "Edit") {action in
        //handle edit
    }

    return [deleteAction, editAction]
}

canEditRowAtIndexPath and commitEditingStyle are still required, but you can leave commitEditingStyle empty since deletion is handled in editActionsForRowAtIndexPath.

It's new feature in iOS11 and Swift 4.

Trailing Swipe :

@available(iOS 11.0, *)
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, trailingSwipeActionsConfigurationForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UISwipeActionsConfiguration? {
    let delete = UIContextualAction(style: .destructive, title: "Delete") { (action, sourceView, completionHandler) in
        print("index path of delete: \(indexPath)")
        completionHandler(true)
    }

    let rename = UIContextualAction(style: .normal, title: "Edit") { (action, sourceView, completionHandler) in
        print("index path of edit: \(indexPath)")
        completionHandler(true)
    }
    let swipeActionConfig = UISwipeActionsConfiguration(actions: [rename, delete])
    swipeActionConfig.performsFirstActionWithFullSwipe = false
    return swipeActionConfig
}

    import UIKit

    class ViewController: UIViewController ,UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource
    {
      var items: String[] = ["We", "Heart", "Swift","omnamay shivay","om namay bhagwate vasudeva nama"]
        var cell : UITableViewCell
}




    @IBOutlet var tableview:UITableView

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.


    }

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }




    func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return self.items.count;
    }


    func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> UITableViewCell! {

        var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CELL") as? UITableViewCell

        if !cell {
            cell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Value1, reuseIdentifier: "CELL")}



        cell!.textLabel.text = self.items[indexPath.row]

        return cell
        }
    func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -> Bool {
        return true
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
        if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete) {
            // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)


            if let tv=tableView
            {



             items.removeAtIndex(indexPath!.row)
                tv.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath], withRowAnimation: .Fade)



        }
    }
}


}

use it :

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    if editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyle.Delete {
        langData.removeAtIndex(indexPath.row) //langData is array from i delete values
        tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([indexPath],  withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimation.Automatic)
    }
}

hope it helps you
