Swift 3 and Swift 4 : CollectionView Delegate method

1) When scroll hit the bottom you can trigger updateNextSet() using willDisplay function

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, willDisplay cell: UICollectionViewCell, forItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
        if indexPath.row == numberofitem.count - 1 {  //numberofitem count
            updateNextSet()  
        }
}

func updateNextSet(){
       print("On Completetion")
       //requests another set of data (20 more items) from the server.
}

2) Append your new data with existing array and reload collection view collectionView.reloadData()

Following are the answers to your questions.

Answer 1: There is a library called SVPullToRefresh which will help you achieve what you are looking for. Try add addInfiniteScrollingWithActionHandler in you UICollectionView for load more.

Answer 2: Yes you are supposed to add the newly loaded data to the mutable array. Doing this will help you to scroll up and find the previously loaded array items.

Hope this will help.

The collection view is a subclass of scroll view, so you can use the scroll delegate methods to find out when a scroll has happened / completed. When that happens you can check the content offset to determine if you're at the bottom or not.

When you are, and checking you aren't already loading more, you can start a new load. Add the results to your array and then reload the collection view (or tell it just about the inserted items).
