Static Table vs Dynamic Prototype for a Table with many (100+ items)










1















I'm relatively new to iOS and Xcode, so please forgive if the question seems stupid. I just couldn't get an answer through extensive searching.



I'm building an app that requires a tableView with 100+ items split into 6 or 7 sections, each list item with a checkbox accessory. As I understand, for my needs, a static table is adequate. However, with such a large list, would it be expensive in terms of resources compared to a dynamic prototype, where the program recycles the table slots?

          No stupid questions.



          You should definitely use dequeued cells “recycled” as you say instead of static.



          It’s best practice.



          It’s trivially easy to do, with registering a nib for reuse.



          Good article on this https://www.hackingwithswift.com/example-code/uikit/how-to-register-a-cell-for-uitableviewcell-reuse.
