Eureka: looking to update the section footer text dynamically ..

[rajeshmani27]

I have a scenario where each row with a textfield has its own section and looking to use the section footer text to be dynamically updated to indicate the number of characters remaining in BLUE as the user types text and also to indicate in RED when the user exceeds the character limit.

In addition, I am trying to make the footer text a smaller font. Looking for suggestion on best way to do this. Currently, it appears that I can set a footer only when the Section is created and it has a standard font size.

Thanks in advance

You can set a new footer to the section but you must reload the section before it takes effect on the view.
You cannot change the font of the footer unless you use a custom view for it.

How do I just reload the section

Thanks

If you are using the master version, there is a function reload in the Section class.
If not, wait a bit for it or just:

tableView.reloadSections(NSIndexSet(index: index), withRowAnimation: rowAnimation)

Is there a way to accomplish this without the TextField losing its focus when section.reload() gets called?
