RxSwift modify tableview cell on select

Question

I have a table view in my app. I generated the datasource for this table using following code

struct ContactNameNumberBlockStatus {
    var contactThumbnail: Data?
    var contactName : String
    var contactNumber: String
    var blockStatus : Bool
}

class BlockListTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
    @IBOutlet weak var contactImage: UIImageView!
    @IBOutlet weak var contactName: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var contactNumber: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var blockButton: UIButton!
    var eachCell : ContactNameNumberBlockStatus! {
        didSet {
            // setting ui
        }
    }
}

private func showTableContent(data :   Observable<[ContactNameNumberBlockStatus]>) {
        data.bindTo(tableView.rx.items(
            cellIdentifier: "BlockListTableViewCell")) {
            row, contributor, cell in
            if let cell2 = cell as? BlockListTableViewCell {
                cell2.eachCell = contributor
            }
            }.addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}

Now when I tap on cell I want to update ui by showing/hiding blockButton mentioned in top

how to do this ??

before using rx i used the didSelectRowAt of table view as following

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        contacts[indexPath.row].blockStatus = false
        self?.tableView.reloadData()
}

I found that tableView.rx.itemSelected is same as above didSelectRowAt but i cant find how i can update the table view using following code

tableView.rx.itemSelected
  .subscribe(onNext: { [weak self]indexPath in

  }).addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

So how to update the cell?

Answer 1

You can gain access to the cell like this

tableView.rx.itemSelected
  .subscribe(onNext: { [weak self] indexPath in
    let cell = self?.tableview.cellForRow(at: indexPath) as? SomeCellClass
    cell.button.isEnabled = false
  }).addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
