title: Add swipe to delete UITableViewCell
body: <p>I am making a CheckList application with a <code>UITableView</code>. I was wondering how to add a swipe to delete a <code>UITableViewCell</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This is my ViewController.swift:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import UIKit
  
  class ViewController: UIViewController,  UITextFieldDelegate, UITableViewDelegate,      UITableViewDataSource {
  
  var tableView: UITableView!
  var textField: UITextField!
  var tableViewData:Array&lt;String&gt; = []
  
  // Define Colors
  
  let lightColor: UIColor = UIColor(red: 0.996, green: 0.467, blue: 0.224, alpha: 1)
  let medColor: UIColor = UIColor(red: 0.973, green: 0.388, blue: 0.173, alpha: 1)
  let darkColor: UIColor = UIColor(red: 0.800, green: 0.263, blue: 0.106, alpha: 1)
  let greenColor: UIColor = UIColor(red: 0.251, green: 0.831, blue: 0.494, alpha: 1)
  
  init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String?, bundle nibBundleOrNil: NSBundle?) {
      super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
      // Custom initialization
  }
  
  override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()
  
      //Set up table view
  
      self.tableView = UITableView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 100, self.view.bounds.size.width, self.view.bounds.size.height-100), style: UITableViewStyle.Plain)
      self.tableView.registerClass(MyTableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "myCell")
      self.tableView.backgroundColor = darkColor
      //self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.None
      self.tableView.delegate = self
      self.tableView.dataSource = self
  
      self.view.addSubview(self.tableView)
  
      //Set up text field
  
      self.textField = UITextField(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 100))
      self.textField.backgroundColor = lightColor
      self.textField.font = UIFont(name: "AvenirNext-Bold", size: 26)
      self.textField.delegate = self
  
      self.view.addSubview(self.textField)
  
  
  
  }
  
  //Table View Delegate
  
  func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -&gt; Int {
  
      return tableViewData.count
  
  }
  
  func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) -&gt; UITableViewCell! {
  
      var myNewCell: MyTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("myCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as MyTableViewCell
      myNewCell.text = self.tableViewData[indexPath.row]
  
      return myNewCell
  
  }
  
  func tableView(tableView: UITableView!, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath!) {
  
      let mySelectedCell:UITableViewCell = tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(indexPath)
  
      //Colors
  
      mySelectedCell.detailTextLabel.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
      mySelectedCell.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
  
      //Setup Details / Date
  
      let myDate:NSDate = NSDate()
      var myDateFormatter:NSDateFormatter = NSDateFormatter()
      myDateFormatter.dateStyle = NSDateFormatterStyle.MediumStyle
  
      mySelectedCell.detailTextLabel.text = myDateFormatter.stringFromDate(myDate)
      mySelectedCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.Checkmark
      mySelectedCell.backgroundColor = greenColor
  
  }
  
  override func prefersStatusBarHidden() -&gt; Bool {
      return true
  
  }
  
  //Text Field Delegate
  
  func textFieldShouldReturn(textField: UITextField!) -&gt; Bool {
  
      tableViewData.append(textField.text)
      textField.text = ""
      self.tableView.reloadData()
      textField.resignFirstResponder()
      return true
  
  }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this is MyTableViewCell.swift:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import UIKit
  
  class MyTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
  
  let medColor: UIColor = UIColor(red: 0.973, green: 0.388, blue: 0.173, alpha: 1)
  
  init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String) {
      super.init(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Subtitle, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
  
      self.textColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
      self.backgroundColor = medColor
      self.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None
  }
  
  override func awakeFromNib() {
      super.awakeFromNib()
      // Initialization code
  }
  
  override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
      super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
  
      // Configure the view for the selected state
  }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using iOS8 as deployment target (not sure of the difference it will make).</p>
