How to make a Sub Table view in a TableViewCell

Question

I have a TableView displaying a list of domain :

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
    self.table

datasource must be a class implementing the protocol UITableViewDataSource. It looks like you are setting it to a custom object. Create a separate class with the code you used to implement the first table, then set the sublist as source data. In the objc.io article “clean table view code” they explain how to make reusable datasources. Or you can just give it a try on your own.

Consider this code:

// ARRAYDATASOURCE.H

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

typedef void (^TableViewCellConfigureBlock)(id cell, id item);

@interface ArrayDataSource : NSObject <UITableViewDataSource>

-(id) init __attribute__((unavailable("disabled, try initWithItems:cellIdentifier:configureCellBlock")));

- (id) initWithItems:(NSArray *)anItems
      cellIdentifier:(NSString *)aCellIdentifier
  configureCellBlock:(TableViewCellConfigureBlock)aConfigureCellBlock;

- (id)itemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

@end


// ARRAYDATASOURCE.M

#import "ArrayDataSource.h"

@interface ArrayDataSource ()
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *items;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *cellIdentifier;
@property (nonatomic, copy) TableViewCellConfigureBlock configureCellBlock;
@end

@implementation ArrayDataSource

- (id)initWithItems:(NSArray *)anItems
     cellIdentifier:(NSString *)aCellIdentifier
 configureCellBlock:(TableViewCellConfigureBlock)aConfigureCellBlock
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) {
        self.items = anItems;
        self.cellIdentifier = aCellIdentifier;
        self.configureCellBlock = [aConfigureCellBlock copy];
    }
    return self;
}

- (id)itemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    return self.items[(NSUInteger) indexPath.row];
}

#pragma mark UITableViewDataSource

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return self.items.count;
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:self.cellIdentifier
                                                            forIndexPath:indexPath];
    id item = [self itemAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    self.configureCellBlock(cell, item);
    return cell;
}

@end
