Creating Engaging Timelines in iOS with TimelineTableViewCell

In the realm of iOS development, crafting an intuitive and visually appealing timeline often requires a blend of robust functionality and aesthetic appeal. The open-source project TimelineTableViewCell, available on GitHub, serves as a straightforward solution to implement timelines within iOS applications, drawing design inspiration from ISTimeline.

Key Features:

1. Event Display on Timeline: Easily depict events on a timeline, offering users a chronological view of information.
2. Customizable Event Attributes: Personalize the appearance of events by altering colors, sizes, and shapes to fit the theme of your application.
3. Editable Titles and Content: Allow for customization of event titles and content, enhancing the user's understanding and interaction with the timeline.

Sample Code Snippet:

import UIKit
import TimelineTableViewCell

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        // Instantiate a TimelineTableViewCell
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "TimelineTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! TimelineTableViewCell

        // Customize the event's color, size, and shape
        cell.timelinePoint.color = .red
        cell.timelinePoint.diameter = 10
        cell.timelinePoint.shape = .circle

        // Specify the event's title and content
        cell.timelineLabel.text = "Event Title"
        cell.timelineDetailLabel.text = "Event Content"

        // Add the TimelineTableViewCell to the UITableView
        tableView.addArrangedSubview(cell)
    }
}

This snippet demonstrates the simplicity of integrating TimelineTableViewCell into your project and showcases the customization of event attributes.
