To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.

LWCollectionViewCell is available through CocoaPods. To install it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:

pod 'LWCollectionViewCell'

Subclass LWCollectionViewCell and use drawCellView: instead of drawRect: to draw most of the content in the cell.

LWCollectionViewCell clears the subviews' stack and keeps one subview only, the one where we're going to draw most of the content in. So force yourself to draw any static image and text using CoreGraphics, but use an UIImageView if you need an asynchronous image loading. Avoid gradients, avoid blendings, and keep all pixel-perfect rounding coordinates and dimensions with ceil and floor, or using the .integral attribute of CGRect.

Have fun!
