How to load different data classes from Parse into uitableview with UISegementedControl -> Swift?

Question

Fairly new to Parse backend and coding all together...

I am trying to implement a UISegmentedControl within a viewcontroller to load different Parse classes (User Products, User Services, User Favorites) into a uitableview . uitableview covers only half of the viewcontroller

I am wondering what is the best approach to properly implement this function? Please forgive me if my question seems too vague.

Thank you!

Your solution should have three components:

1. Detect changes in your UISegmentedControl
2. Load the appropriate data with a query

3. Update the UITableView

   1. Detect Changes in your UISegmentedControl You can find an excellent tutorial here on implementing and detecting changes: http://www.mobisoftinfotech.com/blog/iphone/iphone-segmented-controluisegmentedcontrol-tutorial/

   2. Load the appropriate data with a query https://www.parse.com/docs/ios/guide#queries is where you can learn about how to format your queries for different Parse classes. Use a switch statement to decide which class to load.

   3. Update the TableView This one is the easiest. Use a global variable for your Swift class that stores the returned objects from the PFQuery . If you need to use different cell layouts for the classes, use a switch statement with your UISegmentedControl's index to determine how to load the data appropriately in your UITableView's cellForIndexPath: method.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but hopefully this helps!
