Family House

TV Series Enum

Create a TVSeries enum with two cases, familyMatters and fullHouse. This enum should also have a read-only computed property called description of type String It should return back "Family Matters" if the case on self is familyMatters and "Full House" for the other case.

Film Location

Create a struct called FilmLocation with the following stored properties:

• name of type String--this should be a constant.
• address of type String--this should be a constant.
• tvSeries of type TVSeries--this should be a variable.

Character

Create a struct called Character with the following stored properties:

• name of type String as a constant.
• realLifeName of type String as a constant.
• tvSeries of type TVSeries as a constant.
• currentLocation of type FilmLocation as a variable.
• image of type UIImage as a constant.

This struct should have the following two methods:

The first function should be called canReportToSet(on:) which takes on one argument called location of type FilmLocation. It should return back a Bool. In your implemenetation, you should return true or false if the tvSeries's of both the location argument and the tvSeries on the stored property of self match-up.

The second function is a mutating function called reportToSet(on:) with takes in one argument called location of type FilmLocation. It should check to see that the individual should report to that location (hint: calling on the function you just made) and set the currentLocation stored property to then equal the location passed in based upon the return value of your call to the function you just made.

Table View

Head over to the Main.storyboard file and setup a UITableViewController to look like this:

I have this embedded in a Navigation Controller. As well, there's a custom UITableViewCell created here which contains three labels.

You should set the Custom Class of this Table View Controller to your FilmLocationTableViewController class (which you need to make, make sure you're subclassing UITableViewController).

Before implementing the FilmLocationTableViewController, lets first create another new class.

Create a class which subclasses the UITableViewCell and call it FilmLocationTableViewCell. From the prototype cell you created in your Table View Controller scene, make sure to set the custom class of this cell to the FilmLocationTableViewCell. After doing that, create outlets for the three UILabels giving them appropriate names.

Now for the cool part. Create a stored property called filmLocation of type FilmLocation!. Add a didSet property observer to this stored property. Within the didSet implementation, you should provide the three UILabel outlets with the data you can extract from the filmLocation stored property. Hint: If one of my outlets was called filmNameLabel, I could write code like this in the didSet:

filmNameLabel.text = filmLocation.name

Don't forget to provide some reuse identifier to your TableViewCell in the Main.storyboard file.

Head back to the implementation of your FilmLocationTableViewController. This class should have the following stored property:

var filmLocations: [FilmLocation]!

In your viewDidLoad() method, you should call on another function you're about to make (call it whatever makes sense to you) and generate some fake FilmLocation's and then make sure to add them to the filmLocations array. After doing so, you should call on the following method to have your tableView then update and display all of this info:

tableView.reloadData()

Make sure to implement all of those methods (row, sections, cellForRow!)

Hint: Within the cellForRowAt function, you could something like this (remember why?):

let filmLocation = filmLocations[indexPath.row]
cell.filmLocation = filmLocation

Head on back over to the Main.storyboard file!

Collection View

You should drag over a Collection View Controller and design it like this. Ignore the Done Button for now, but in order to have the Nav Controller be a part of this controller you need to setup a segue between the Prototype Cell in the Table View Controller to this Collection View Controller and select show.

You should notice that this is a custom Collection View Cell.

Similar to how you setup the custom Table View Cell, you want to do the same thing here. Instead, it should sublass UICollectionViewCell and you should call it CharacterCollectionViewCell. Drag over then the necessary outlets after you've setup the custom class of this Collection View Cell to your newly made CharacterCollectionViewCell.

Major hint incoming, your code should look something like this:

class CharacterCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {
    @IBOutlet weak var characterImageView: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet weak var characterNameLabel: UILabel!
    
    var character: Character! {
        didSet {
            characterNameLabel.text = character.name
            characterImageView.image = character.image
        }
    }
    
}

Lets now create a CharacterCollectionViewController (make sure to sublcass UICollectionViewController and then set the custom class of the Collection View Controller in storyboard to this new class. This new class should have the following stored properties:

    var characters: [Character]!
    var filmLocation: FilmLocation!

How does the filmLocation stored property get a value? Hmm... maybe from the prior view controller in that view controllers prepareForSegue method :)

The characters array should be populated in your viewDidLoad method. You should create all of the necessary characters from both shows and add them to this array. With no further hints and with this information, you should populate all of your cells with these characters.

Hint:

let character = characters[indexPath.row]
cell.character = character

Final instructions (which are vague on purpose).

Create the bar button item in the storyboard file on your Collection View Controller and then create an IBAction associated with it. What should happen is.. is when this done button is tapped, it should look through all of the SELECTED characters within the collectionView and make sure they're all able to report to the set. Meaning... are they part of the TV series that the location represents. If so, print something to console stating so, if not.. print something to console that states that they aren't allowed on set.

For funzies, you can look to update the UI to reflect that they are are aren't allowed on set.

Hint: Changing the appearance of a cell when it's selected within a Collection View Controller can be done in this method:

    override func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {

    }
