How to pass indexPath to a CustomCell

I have a simple UITableView not scrollable and with no need to reuse cells. I have a custom cell class with a .xib file.

My goal is to pass the index path with a custom init inside the protocol method 

-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

when I create the custom cells in order to use the indexPath inside my customCellClass.m

Is there any way to achieve that?

In your custom cell you can define an NSIndexPath property. When constructing the cell in cellForRowAtIndexPath you can set that property with the given index.

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    CustomTableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"CustomTableViewCell" forIndexPath:indexPath];

    // This sets your custom indexPath property
    cell.indexPath = indexPath;

    // More cell setup

    return cell;
}

This can be useful working with delegates for identifying the cell to handle, say, a button click inside the cell. More context here.
