ios - Is completely static UICollectionView possible?

Question

At UITableView, completely static tableView config is possible. You can disconnect UITableView's datasource and put each cell on storyboard(or xib) by using IB.

I tried same thing with UICollectionView. disconnect UICollectionView's datasource. Put each cell on UICollectionView on storyboard. I built it without any errors. But it didin't work. cells were not displayed at all.

Is UICollectionView without datasource possible?

Answer 1

No.

Creating a static UICollectionViewController is not allowed. You must have a data source delegate.

I also want to point out that there is not a static UITableView, but a static UITableViewController. It's a difference.
