Initialization

Delegates

Everything is a delegated via iOS when you set your class object to listen to the delegate callbacks for the TableView Delegate

With Sections in the TableView Row.
Source Model definition

struct IDataSource {
    let sections = [
        IDataSourceSection(
            title: "age",
            items:
            [IDataSourceItem(displayTitle: "Files",
            valueDisplayer: .delayed(storageType: .file))
             ]),
		IDataSourceSection(
            title: "Mie",
            items:
            [IDataSourceItem(displayTitle: "BT",
            valueDisplayer: .other))
             ])
      ]
    func getItem(at indexPath: IndexPath) -> InfoDataSourceItem? {
        return sections.element(at: indexPath.section)?.items.element(at: indexPath.row)
    }
}

Table View Delegate methods

class IViewController: UITableViewController { }
private let iDataSource = IDataSource()

// Section
public override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return iDataSource.sections.count
}
// Row
public override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
                                   numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return iDataSource.sections.element(at: section)?.items.count ?? 0
}

// Header
public override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
                     titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
    return iDataSource.sections.element(at: section)?.title ?? ""
}
// Cell configure
public override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,
					cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
   guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: identifier) as? CustomUITableViewCell else { return UITableViewCell() }
   guard let item = iDataSource.getItem(at: indexPath) else {return cell }
   return cell
}
