Static is a library from Venmo that makes it very simple to create simple static-content table views. Let's take a look at how to use it:

The basic idea of Static is that we'll configure what is displayed in our table view by supplying Section and Row objects to a DataSource object:

class SettingsViewController: TableViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    dataSource.sections = [
      Section(rows: [
        Row(text: "Jake Marsh", detailText: "@jakemarsh",
          cellClass: SubtitleCell.self,
          selection: { [unowned self] in
            // edit profile
          }
        ),
        Row(
          text: "Cellular Downloads",
          accessory: .View(cellularDownloadsSwitch)
        )],
        footer: .Title("Version: \(appVersion)")
      )
    ]
  }
}

Custom accessories are simple to implement with Static:

Row(text: "Enable Hyperdrive", accessory: .DetailButton({
  // configure hyperdrive settings
})),

Note how we not only give the cell a detail button, but we pass in a closure to be run when the detail button is tapped. We can even use a custom UIView as an accessory like we did with the switch in our first example.

We used a simple string as our footer here, but we can easily use a view instead:

Section(rows: [], footer: .View(footerView)).

Static does a great job separating concerns. Rows don't know anything about the actual UITableViewCells that eventually get shown to represent them. Static uses the .Value1 cell type by default and comes with a few other standard cell types. We can easily add our own by implementing the CellType protocol on any of our own UITableViewCell subclasses.
