create a table view with a header in swift

To create a table view with a header in Swift, follow these steps:

1. Create a new project in Xcode using the "Single View App" template.
2. Drag a UITableView from the Object Library onto your ViewController in the storyboard.
3. Create an outlet for the UITableView in your ViewController.
4. Set the data source and delegate of the UITableView to your ViewController.
5. Add the following code to your ViewController:

main.swift
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
    let headerView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: tableView.frame.width, height: 50))
    headerView.backgroundColor = .gray

    let headerLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 10, y: 0, width: tableView.frame.width - 10, height: 50))
    headerLabel.text = "Header Title"
    headerLabel.textColor = .white
    headerLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 20)
    headerLabel.textAlignment = .left

    headerView.addSubview(headerLabel)

    return headerView
}

This code defines the viewForHeaderInSection method, which is called by the UITableView to get the view for a particular section's header. In this method, we create a UIView with a gray background color and a UILabel with white text that displays the header title. We set the UILabel as a subview of the UIView, and then return the UIView as the header view for the section.

6. Implement the numberOfSections and numberOfRowsInSection methods of the UITableViewDataSource protocol to provide the data for your table view.

With these steps, you should now have a table view with a header in your Swift app.
