XCode Reusing UITableViewCells in Storyboard

Question

I have a UITableViewCell in my project that I want to reuse in a few UITableViews. Is there a way to reuse them without setting up UILabels, etc each time in the Storyboard?

In cellForRowAtIndex, you can refer to the custom cell:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView (UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
CustomCell *cell = ...
cell.labelName.text = ...;
Return cell;

}

My question is more of a storyboard question I think. How do I reuse a cell without having to set the layout every time. – Brian Kalski Feb 19 '15 at 21:05
Create a class that subclasses uitableviewcell, and refer to that for each prototype cell – Aadesh Feb 20 '15 at 02:24

That doesn't specify the layout of UI elements though. – Brian Kalski Feb 20 '15 at 02:29

You need to create your UITableViewCell class and register it for your tables

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self.tableView registerClass:<RegisteredClass> forCellReuseIdentifier:<ReuseIdentifier>];
}
