any advice on putting UICollectionViews into UITableViewCells? about dttableviewmanager

[DenTelezhkin]

First of all, i would recommend trying to put all your data inside single UICollectionView - you can try putting each deck in it's dedicated section. If this is possible in your setup, than it will greatly simplify all efforts.

Second, if that is not possible or easy to do in your case, you can definitely put a UICollectionView inside of UITableViewCell managed by DTTableViewManager - this was actually the reason why DTTableViewManageable protocol never implies that it is a view controller. However, in this case there are several things you need to worry about:

• Creating UICollectionView - this needs to be done on freshly created cell, UICollectionView needs to be added as a subview, and have appropriate autolayout constraints.
• Starting managing items - those need to be transferred from your DTTableViewManageable instance, possibly inside configureCell closure.
• Cell reuse - on cell reuse all resources need to be cleaned up. It's possible that it may be sufficient just removing all items from DTCollectionViewManager storage to avoid cases where UICollectionView goes offscreen and still has items inside.
• Perfomance - displaying several UICollectionViews inside a single UITableView has been a bottleneck for me in the past - you will need to make sure that cells are super fast, otherwise on slow devices you will see slowdowns and lags. You will probably need to use Instruments and Time Profiler to make sure that everything is fast enough.

Hope this helps you solving your task. I will close this issue as it's more a question than an issue, but you can ask more questions here if you have problems implementing this stuff.
