BGTableViewRowActionWithImage

A variation on the iOS 8.0+ UITableViewRowAction to support icons, with text below. Similar to the iOS 9 Mail application and various third-party applications. We're all secretly hoping that Apple will implement this functionality with a native, public API in a future iOS update.

This current implementation isn't ideal, but it works. Until it becomes a built-in property for UITableViewRowAction, please feel free to contribute any improvements or compatibility tweaks as you see fit.

Some other helpful Cocoa Pods:

• BGPersistentStoreManager (link) — A simple singleton/wrapper/manager for the Apple iOS/macOS/etc. "Core Data" NSPersistentStore object/contexts.
• BGRecursiveTableViewDataSource (link) — Recursive “stacking” and modularization of UITableViewDataSource(s) with Apple iOS's UIKit.

Objective-C Usage

// Regular width
+ (instancetype)rowActionWithStyle:(UITableViewRowActionStyle)style
                             title:(NSString *)title
                   backgroundColor:(UIColor *)backgroundColor
                             image:(UIImage *)image
                     forCellHeight:(NSUInteger)cellHeight
                           handler:(void (^)(UITableViewRowAction *, NSIndexPath *))handler;

+ (instancetype)rowActionWithStyle:(UITableViewRowActionStyle)style
                             title:(NSString *)title
                        titleColor:(UIColor *)titleColor
                   backgroundColor:(UIColor *)backgroundColor
                             image:(UIImage *)image
                     forCellHeight:(NSUInteger)cellHeight
                           handler:(void (^)(UITableViewRowAction *, NSIndexPath *))handler;

// Optional fitted width (ideal when using 3 or more cells in smaller tables)
+ (instancetype)rowActionWithStyle:(UITableViewRowActionStyle)style
                             title:(NSString *)title
                   backgroundColor:(UIColor *)backgroundColor
                             image:(UIImage *)image
                     forCellHeight:(NSUInteger)cellHeight
                    andFittedWidth:(BOOL)isWidthFitted
                           handler:(void (^)(UITableViewRowAction *, NSIndexPath *))handler;

+ (instancetype)rowActionWithStyle:(UITableViewRowActionStyle)style
                             title:(NSString *)title
                        titleColor:(UIColor *)titleColor
                   backgroundColor:(UIColor *)backgroundColor
                             image:(UIImage *)image
                     forCellHeight:(NSUInteger)cellHeight
                    andFittedWidth:(BOOL)isWidthFitted
                           handler:(void (^)(UITableViewRowAction *, NSIndexPath *))handler;

Use one of these constructors only to configure each row action, depending on your needs. Manually setting the backgroundColor property of a row action after calling a constructor will probably result in unexpected behavior, and should be avoided.

Swift

For Swift, the syntax changes slightly:

// In your imports:
import BGTableViewRowActionWithImage

// In your code:
BGTableViewRowActionWithImage.rowActionWithStyle(/* see above for parameters... */)

See "Objective-C Usage" above for parameter configurations and other important notes.
