I need to to fetch realtime news from API, and then show them in a UITableView, news must disappear 5 seconds after their arrival.
I am new in Swift, I know that UITableView has reloadData() that is meant to update the data in the table, I suppose I should use this method.
My idea is to call the API every 5 seconds, but how it works update/animation for making disappearing the news and adding new ones in the table?
When you get the data from api, update your Data_Source(i.e. the list or array from which you are populating the UITableView) and after that call reloadData(). So UITableView will reload every time the data comes from api.
If you want to show only the new data then assign = the new data to your array, or want to add/append then append new data in old array.
