UITableViewCell as datasource. For cell that was defined on runtime

[michaelhenry]

Summary

I don't know if this is still helpful, especially nowadays, but sometimes we have a cell that was defined on runtime and did not use the UITableView.register() process.

example:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cellId = "cellId"

        var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellId)
        if cell == nil {
            cell = UITableViewCell(style: .default, reuseIdentifier: cellId)

            // Do some creation setup
        }

        // assign some values

        return cell!
}

This PR will add an option to specify a UITableViewCell, aside from using a ReusableCellIdentifier.

func collectionSkeletonView(_ skeletonView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell?

Hi @michaelhenry

Thanks for the contribution, but TBH I don't know if this code gives value to the library 🤔 I mean, there is no problem related to this, so maybe this code makes the codebase more complex instead of providing value.

WDYT?

@Juanpe no worries. I agree with you too. Thanks for checking. I'm closing this ticket now. thanks

Hi @michaelhenry, In the end, I've decided to add this feature to the library. So, if you don't matter I'm going to use your code and I'll add some improvements.

BTW, @broadwaylamb, this is something that you proposed as well, didn't you?
