Custom fonts

[tawrahim]

Would it be possible to extend this library to allow developers to specify custom fonts in the tableView cell?

Theming is not something I have spent time on. I think it should be possible to style things with UIAppearance, but there are probably obstacles. I ought to make an example of how to do it.

What do you think?

[tawrahim]

Hmm so am not exactly sure with UIAppearance.

I quickly tried this
UITableViewCell.appearance().textLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "Exo2.0-Regular", size: 15.0) in the viewDidLoad method and it did not work. I was looking at the code and notice at round line 34 you set the font style. I think it would be great if we can make that settable.

[neoneye]

Yes, the init code currently sets the fonts. It doesn't have to be like this, but I'm not sure what is best practice with theming. Maybe it's UIAppearance or a new swift approach. Maybe it would be better to extend the CellModel with theming properties.

[tawrahim]

I think extending the CellModel makes the most sense and looks very clean to me.

[neoneye]

Awesome @tawrahim, I would love to see a proposal from you.

[tawrahim]

Haha great I would see if I can squeeze in sometime to work on it.
I also think if it is easier for you to just extend it, It would be awesome since you are most familiar with the code 😄

Your cocoapod contributions are much appreciated. Never give up.

When I'm not working, then I'm coding on various iOS projects. There is too little time in this world.

[tawrahim]

Ok let me see what I can do since I'm also heavily involved with this project to get v2.0 released. Lets see what happens.

[neoneye]

Your project looks cool. Is it pure swift?

[tawrahim]

Yeah it is! And we are using your amazing library for some of our view
controllers.

There is a local phenomenon here in Denmark, it's gomore. I don't know if it's big outside europa. It seems related 👍

[tawrahim]

It is a little bit different but we both embody the spirit of the sharing economy 🔹
In any case I would try and see if I can make some progress with this issue this weekend. However if you do get it to work on it first that would be even cooler 😄
