VIEW
Your balance is $6,729,383.99

VIEWMODEL
struct AccountViewModel {
let displayBalance: String
init(model: BankAccount) {
let formattedBalance = model.balance.currencyValue
displayBalance = "Your balance is (formattedBalance)"
}
}

VIEWCONTROLLER
var viewModel = ViewModel(model: Account)

THE PROBLEM
class SwitchWithTextTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
func configure(
title: String,
titleFont: UIFont,
titleColor: UIColor,
switchOn: Bool,
switchColor: UIColor = .purpleColor(),
onSwitchToggleHandler: onSwitchToggleHandlerType? = nil)
{
// configure views here
}
}

protocol SwitchWithTextCellProtocol {
var title: String { get }
var titleFont: UIFont { get }
var titleColor: UIColor { get }
var switchOn: Bool { get }
var switchColor: UIColor { get }
func onSwitchTogleOn(on: Bool)
}

extension SwitchWithTextCellProtocol {
var switchColor: UIColor {
return .purpleColor()
}
}

class SwitchWithTextTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
func configure(withDelegate delegate: SwitchWithTextCellProtocol)
{
}
}

struct MinionModeViewModel: SwitchWithTextCellProtocol {
var title = "Minion Mode!!!"
var switchOn = true
return .yellowColor()
}
func onSwitchTogleOn(on: Bool) {
if on {
print("The Minions are here to stay!")
} else {
print("The Minions went out to play!")
}
}
}

CELLFORROWATINDEXPATH
// YourViewController.swift
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("SwitchWithTextTableViewCell",
forIndexPath: indexPath) as! SwitchWithTextTableViewCell
// this is where the magic happens!
cell.configure(withDelegate: MinionModeViewModel())
return cell

protocol SwitchWithTextCellDataSource {
var title: String { get }
}
protocol SwitchWithTextCellDelegate {
var textColor: UIColor { get }
var font: UIFont { get }

// SettingsViewController
let viewModel = MinionModeViewModel()
cell.configure(withDataSource: viewModel, delegate: viewModel)
