I am having a behavior relay in my view model that is used as a source of data. Its defined like this:
var posts: BehaviorRelay<[PostModel]>
It is initialized with data through the network, and it initializes tableView normally when I bind data to it.
Now, if I try to change say, the like status of a post here, like this (this is also in my view model):
private func observeLikeStatusChange() {
self.changedLikeStatusForPost
.withLatestFrom(self.posts, resultSelector: { ($1, $0) })
.map{ (posts, changedPost) -> [PostModel] in
//...
var editedPosts = posts
editedPosts[index] = changedPost // here data is correct, index, changedContact
return editedPosts
}
.bind(to: self.posts)
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
}
So with this, nothing happens. If I remove the element from editedPosts
, the tableView
updates correctly and removes the row.
PostModel
struct conforms to Equatable
, and it requires all properties to be the same at the moment.
In my view controller, I create datasource like this:
tableView.rx.setDelegate(self).disposed(by: disposeBag)
let dataSource = RxTableViewSectionedAnimatedDataSource<PostsSectionModel>(
configureCell: { dataSource, tableView, indexPath, item in
//...
return postCell
})
postsViewModel.posts
.map({ posts in
let models = posts.map{ PostCellModel(model: $0) }
return [PostsSectionModel(model: "", items: models)]
}) // If I put debug() here, this is triggered and I get correct section model with correct values
.bind(to: self.tableView.rx.items(dataSource: dataSource))
.disposed(by: disposeBag)
So, as I said, I am getting correct values, but configureCell is not triggered. What I am doing wrong here?
EDIT:
Here is PostCellModel:
import Foundation
import RxDataSources
typealias PostsSectionModel = AnimatableSectionModel<String, PostCellModel>
struct PostCellModel : Equatable, IdentifiableType {
static func == (lhs: PostCellModel, rhs: PostCellModel) -> Bool {
return lhs.model.id == rhs.model.id
}
var identity: Int {
return model.id
}
var model: PostModel
}
and a PostModel:
struct PostModel: Codable, CellDataModel, Equatable {
static func == (lhs: PostModel, rhs: PostModel) -> Bool {
return
lhs.liked == rhs.liked &&
rhs.title == lhs.title &&
lhs.location == rhs.location &&
lhs.author == rhs.author &&
lhs.created == rhs.created
}
let id: Int
let title: String
let location: String?
let author: String
let created: Int
let liked:Bool
}
You have defined your Equatable conformance incorrectly in the PostCellModel
. Because of that, the system is unable to tell whether a cell model has changed... Remove your manually defined ==(lhs:rhs:)
and let the system generate them for you and you should be fine...
typealias PostsSectionModel = AnimatableSectionModel<String, PostCellModel>
struct PostCellModel : Equatable, IdentifiableType {
var identity: Int {
return model.id
}
var model: PostModel
}
struct PostModel: Codable, CellDataModel, Equatable {
let id: Int
let title: String
let location: String?
let author: String
let created: Int
let liked:Bool
}
