Extension for the UITableView and UITableViewCell that avoid a parallax effect when user is scrolling. Really easy to implement and use and Swift.

• Add Alamofire framework used for remote image to your project available at https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire
• Add PHFParallaxBackgroundCell and PHFParallaxTableView class to your project
• Change the type of your Tableview with PHFParallaxTableView like var var myTableView : PHFParallaxTableView
• Implement the scrollViewDidScroll delegate on your view controller and implement myTableView.scrollViewDidScroll(self.view) inside.
• Inherit your tableview cells class with the PHFParallaxBackgroundCell and set the background of your cell with super.setBackgroundImage(myImageName) method.

All customize methods are optionals, if you want customization you have to add ParallaxBackgroundCellDelegate in your view controller, on you cell set cell.delegate = self. The PHFParallaxBackgroundCell have a default indexPath (0, 0) if you want to set different case for your cell, add cell.indexPath = indexPath, so delegate can get an unique value for an indexPath (This is the case in my example).

• you can provide an offset for the background image (by default 40px), the offset is the difference between the
  image.height and the cell.heigth

func offsetForCellAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return 60.0;
  }

• if the image are remote or local.

 func backgroundIsOnlineCellAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    var isOnline = true;
        
    if (indexPath.row < 5) {
      isOnline = false;
    }
    return isOnline;
  }

• if you want use a placeholder image during the remote image loading, get the local image name.

 func backgroundPlaceholderForCellAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> NSString {
            return "placeholderImage";
    }

It add a background image view by default on your cell with 40px taller than the cell height . In the tableView extension, we add a method scrollViewDidScroll with the parameter superview, this method will be called every time the user did scroll. This will take every cell visible on screen and every cell will calculate a new background origin. You can see an example if you clone the package.
