TableviewCells with different contents

Question

im trying to make an App where the User can add a Cell and where he can add different Contents to the Cell like Name, Birthday and Hobbys for example. So far so good. But how can i show him the individual Contents of each Cell? Do I have to add a ViewController with different labels, where i load the text saved for the specific cell, for example with NSuserdefaults/Coredata? Or am I totally wrong?

What i have right now : in my viewController where i can add an item

@IBAction func doneButtonPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
    name = txtFieldName.text!
    vc.items.append(name)
    vc.tableView.reloadData()
    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion:nil)
}

in my tableviewController:

  var items = [String]();

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    print(items)
}

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

override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    return 1
}

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


override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("itemCell", forIndexPath: indexPath)

    cell.textLabel!.text = items[indexPath.row]
    return cell
}

You need to implement kinda this thing

NavigationController ->(segue) TableView or TVController ->(show item segue) TableView or TVController

Using this example we should have files for each tableview and cell first pair(newsvc.swift newscell.swift) second pair(newsitemvc.swift newsitemcell.swift)

So as we understand it's a MVC

We need implement some static data Create Model file (add struct and initialize it)

struct News {
    var time: String?
    var title: String?
    var text: String?

    init(time: String?, title: String?,text: String?) {
        self.time = time
        self.title = title
        self.text = text
    }
}

in second file we create data for struct

let newsData = [ News(time: "10:00", title: "Test", text: "Some text"),
                 News(time: "11:00", title: "Test1", text: "Some text1")]

NewsCell.swift

class NewsCell: UITableViewCell {

  @IBOutlet weak var timeLabel: UILabel!

  @IBOutlet weak var titleLabel: UILabel!

  @IBOutlet weak var textLabel: UILabel!

  var news: News! {
    didSet {
      timeLabel = news.time

      titleLabel = news.title

      textLabel.text = news.text
    }
  }
}

in NewsViewController we need add "News" array and make it get data from "newsData"

var newsItems: [News] = newsData

update functions

  func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    return 1
  }

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

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("NewsCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! NewsCell
    let news = newsItems[indexPath.row] as News
    cell.news = news
    return cell
  }

after it we should add segue

  override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    let indexPath: NSIndexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow!
    tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)
    if segue.identifier == "showItemSegue" {
      if let destViewController = segue.destinationViewController as? NewsItemViewController {
      let seguedArray = newsItems[indexPath.row] as News
      destViewController.newSeguedArray = seguedArray
      }
    }
    }
