表格视图的自定义原型单元

Question

I've been trying to figure out lately how to display data from a database in a particular way, as described on the picture below:

Basically, as seen on many brand websites, I'd like to display each item from the database as rectangular cells, with a large image describing the item and 1 to 3 labels to put a title/subtitle/price tag.

I had no idea how to deal with it, to me it looked like creating some kind of table view with custom prototype cells, but I did not find any answers on the internet.

I'm sure the answer is quite simple but I can't figure it out unless doing entirely programmatically?

Answer 1

Yes, as jkaufman said: UICollectionView is made for this purpose. You may create a custom UICollectionViewCell in Interface Builder with a UIImageView and a UILabel as you illustrated. Be sure to give your custom IUCollectionViewCell a Reuse Identifier so you UICollectionViewDataSource can specify it.
