Single and MultiSelection cells in same tableView | Swift - ios

Question

Before duplicating this question, please be known that I've spent days on this issue, working hours, and looking for all same sort of questions on SO, but there is something I am missing or doing wrong.
I have a tableView in which the data is being populated via API response. Below is the model I have.
struct Model : Codable {
let bugClassification : [Bug]?
}
struct Bug : Codable {
let selectable : String? //Telling wether cell is single/Multi selected
var options : [Options]?
}
struct Options : Codable, Equatable {
let title : String?
let id: Int
var isCellSelected: Bool = false
}
Scenario
I want to create multiple sections, each having different cell depending upon the type of selectable, either single or multi. I have achieved that, but the problem I am getting is that whenever I scroll, random cells are also selected. Now, I know this behaviour is because of tableView reusing the cells. But I am confused as how to handle all this. Also, I want to put the validation on the sections, that is, every section should have atleast one cell selected. Kindly guide me in the right direction, and any small help would be appreciated. Below is my code.
CellForRowAt
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if bugClassification[indexPath.section].selectable?.lowercased() == "multi-select" {
//Multi-Selection
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: multiSelectionCellID) as! MultiSelectionCell
let item = bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row]
cell.label.text = item.title
if item.isCellSelected {
cell.checkMarkImageView.alpha = 1
cell.checkMarkView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.white.cgColor
cell.checkMarkView.backgroundColor = .emerald
} else if item.isCellSelected {
cell.checkMarkImageView.alpha = 0
cell.checkMarkView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.veryLightBlue.cgColor
cell.checkMarkView.backgroundColor = .white
}
return cell
} else {
//Single-Selection
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: singleSelectionCellID) as! SingleSelectionCell
let item = bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row]
cell.label.text = item.title
if item.isCellSelected {
cell.checkMarkImageView.alpha = 1
cell.checkMarkView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.emerald.cgColor
} else {
cell.checkMarkImageView.alpha = 0
cell.checkMarkView.layer.borderColor = UIColor.veryLightBlue.cgColor
}
return cell
}
}
DidSelectRow Method
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if bugClassification[indexPath.section].selectable?.lowercased() == "multi-select" {
var item = bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row]
item.isCellSelected = !item.isCellSelected
bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row] = item
self.tableView.reloadRows(at: [indexPath], with: .automatic)
} else {
let items = bugClassification[indexPath.section].options
if let selectedItemIndex = items!.indices.first(where: { items![$0].isCellSelected }) {
bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![selectedItemIndex].isCellSelected = false
if selectedItemIndex != indexPath.row {
bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row].isCellSelected = true
}
} else {
bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row].isCellSelected = true
}
self.tableView.reloadSections([indexPath.section], with: .automatic)
}
}

Answer 1

In cellForRowAt
if item.isCellSelected == true{
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
} else {
cell.accessoryType = .none
}
and update the model by every selection
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didDeselectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let item = bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row]
if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) {
cell.accessoryType = .none
if indexPath.section == 0{
item.isCellSelected.isSelected = false
}else{
item.isCellSelected.isSelected = false
}
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
let item = bugClassification[indexPath.section].options![indexPath.row]
if let cell = tableView.cellForRow(at: indexPath) {
cell.accessoryType = .checkmark
if indexPath.section == 0{
item.isCellSelected.isSelected = true
}else{
item.isCellSelected.isSelected = true
}
}
}
