# TipUICollectionViewCell

A collection view cell that embeds a tip.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @objc @preconcurrency final class TipUICollectionViewCell
```

## Overview

Overview Use this cell to create a tip you want to display and layout as a UICollectionViewCell. To configure the content and appearance of your cell, use the configureTip(_:arrowEdge:actionHandler:) function and provide a tip along with an optional arrow edge and action handler. Set the background color of your tip view using backgroundColor. Adding or removing TipUICollectionViewCell is done by listening to a tip’s shouldDisplayUpdates or statusUpdates. import TipKit import UIKit

class CatTracksCollectionViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource {     var collectionView: UICollectionView     var catTracksFeatureTip = CatTracksFeatureTip()

override func viewDidLoad() {         super.viewDidLoad()         collectionView.register(TipUICollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "TipUICollectionViewCell")     }

override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {         super.viewDidAppear(animated)

Task { @MainActor in             for await shouldDisplay in catTracksFeatureTip.shouldDisplayUpdates {                 collectionView.reloadData()             }         }     }          func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {         if section == 0 {             return catTracksFeatureTip.shouldDisplay ? 1 : 0         }         return dataStore.numberOfItemsInSection(section - 1)     }

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {         if let indexPath.section == 0, let catTracksTipCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "TipUICollectionViewCell", for: indexPath) as? TipUICollectionViewCell {             catTracksTipCell.configureTip(catTracksFeatureTip)             return catTracksTipCell         }     } }
