StatefulViewController by aschuch
Placeholder views based on content, loading, error or empty states
About StatefulViewController
From the project's README at github.com/aschuch/StatefulViewController. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
A protocol to enable s or s to present placeholder views based on content, loading, error or empty states. Overview
In a networked application a view controller or custom view typically has the following states that need to be communicated to the user:
Loading: The content is currently loaded over the network. Content: The content is available and presented to the user. Empty: There is currently no content available to display. Error: An error occurred whilst downloading content.
As trivial as this flow may sound, there are a lot of cases that result in a rather large decision tree.
