Reload the table view the first time it is shown.

Reload the table view the first time it is shown. This is how UITableViewController works afiak.

Is there a way to do this without using the ivar?

I do something similar to this in my own table view data source. I make sure the table view is reloaded when we perform the fetch request.

I think something like the following could be cleaner (and prevents using an ivar).

- (BOOL)performFetch:(NSError **)error {
    BOOL result = [[self fetchedResultsController] performFetch:error];
    [[self tableView] reloadData];
    return result;
}

When the fetch request is set, I would then perform the fetch.

- (void)setFetchedResultsController:(NSFetchedResultsController *)fetchedResultsController {
    _fetchedResultsController = fetchedResultsController;
    [self performFetch:nil];
}

I don't think there is a need to perform a reload on viewWillAppear:. Instead just make sure the table view is updated when the fetch happens (if it happens after the table view is loaded).

What do you think @soffes @kylef?

You should probably add the same thing to the collection view variant too.

My bad on closing. Silly GitHub.
