How to get values from different cells? - ios

Question

I have a table view that includes multiple prototype cells. I want to get values of textField in these cells and append an array, when tapped a button.
Cells has an object that called element. I want to append this element to elementsArray in my view controller. The problem is when cellForRow method worked this elements keys is created but because of cellForRowAt method works only one time, "value" key of element object take initial value of txtContent.
How can I take txtContent text after write a text for each cell?
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let object = surveyDetailArray.first!.elements[indexPath.row]
switch object.type {
case CellConfig.email.rawValue:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "EmailCell", for: indexPath) as! EmailCell
cell.lblTitle.text = object.title
cell.txtContent.inputAccessoryView = toolBar
cell.element["formElementId"] = object.id as AnyObject
cell.element["options"] = optionArray as AnyObject
elementsArray.append(cell.element as AnyObject)
return cell
case CellConfig.number.rawValue:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "NumberCell", for: indexPath) as! NumberCell
cell.lblTitle.text = object.title
cell.txtContent.inputAccessoryView = toolBar
cell.txtContent.keyboardType = .numberPad
cell.element["formElementId"] = object.id as AnyObject
cell.element["options"] = optionArray as AnyObject
elementsArray.append(cell.element as AnyObject)
return cell
}
My cell class
class EmailCell: UITableViewCell,UITextFieldDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var lblTitle: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var txtContent: CustomTextField!
var element = ["formElementId":"",
"value":"",
"options":[]] as [String : Any]
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
txtContent.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 0.1570051014, green: 0.1588717997, blue: 0.2081049681, alpha: 0.1)
txtContent.layer.borderWidth = 0
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
txtContent.delegate = self
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
element["value"] = textField.text!
}
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let object = surveyDetailArray.first!.elements[indexPath.row]
switch object.type {
case CellConfig.email.rawValue:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "EmailCell", for: indexPath) as! EmailCell
cell.txtContent.delegate = self
return cell
case CellConfig.number.rawValue:
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "NumberCell", for: indexPath) as! NumberCell
return cell
}
extension ViewController: UITextFieldDelegate{
func textFieldDidEndEditing(_ textField: UITextField) {
var cell: UITableView Cell!
if let emailCell: UITableViewCell = textField.superview.superview as? EmailCell{
cell = emailCell
}
if let numbCell: UITableViewCell = textField.superview.superview as? NumberCell{
cell = numbCell
}
var table: UITableView = cell.superview as UITableView
let textFieldIndexPath = table.indexPathForCell(cell)
// HERE DO THE UPDATION YOU WANT TO DO
}
}
