LYEmptyView is an iOS library that adds empty-state placeholder views (no data, no network) to UITableView/UICollectionView with a single line of code. It uses categories and runtime method swizzling to automatically show or hide the placeholder based on the data source.

Use cases

• show a no-data placeholder when a table view is empty
• display a no-network empty state in a collection view
• add retry button to empty state view
• integrate empty view without delegates or protocols
• customize empty state image, title, and detail text
• auto-hide empty placeholder when data loads

When to choose

• you build iOS apps in Objective-C or Swift with UIKit table/collection views
• you want zero-coupling, one-line empty state integration
• you need automatic show/hide tied to reloadData, insert, and delete calls

When to avoid

• you use SwiftUI and need native empty states
• you need Auto Layout support for fully custom empty views
• the project is no longer actively maintained and you need ongoing updates
