Basics article available: Child View ControllersAn awesome thing about child view controllers is that they're automatically resized to match their parent, making them a super nice solution for things like loading & error views.
class ListViewController: UIViewController {
func loadItems() {
let loadingViewController = LoadingViewController()
add(loadingViewController)
dataLoader.loadItems { [weak self] result in
loadingViewController.remove()
self?.handle(result)
}
}
}
