Add/Delete UITableViewCell with animation?

Question

[self.tableView beginUpdates];
[self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:insertIndexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:deleteIndexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[self.tableView endUpdates];

insertIndexPaths is an array of NSIndexPaths to be inserted to your table.

deleteIndexPaths is a array of NSIndexPaths to be deleted from your table.

Example array format for index paths :

NSArray *insertIndexPaths = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:
        [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:0 inSection:0],
        [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:1 inSection:0],
        [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:2 inSection:0],
        nil];

In Swift 2.1+

tableView.beginUpdates()
tableView.deleteRowsAtIndexPaths([YourIndexPathYouWantToDeleteFrom], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
tableView.insertRowsAtIndexPaths([YourIndexPathYouWantToInsertTo], withRowAnimation: .Fade)
tableView.endUpdates()

And you can create an NSIndexPath easily like so:

NSIndexPath(forRow: 0, inSection: 0)

You want these two methods: insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: and deleteSections:withRowAnimation: They are both detailed in the UITableView documentation.

Swift 4.0

    tableView.beginUpdates()
    tableView.deleteRows(at: [YourIndexPathYouWantToDeleteFrom], with: .fade)
    tableView.insertRows(at: [YourIndexPathYouWantToInsertTo], with: .fade)
    tableView.endUpdates()

For creating IndexPath use this:

IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0)
