Move CollectionViewCell to another section

Question

I have a UIViewController with a collectionView inside it. The layout may seem confusing but I am making use of horizontal scrolling UICollectionViewCells, presented in 3 sections. The main collection view is made up of 3 sections. I access 3 different UICollectionViewCell classes for each section becuase it is fetching different data for each one. Once the data is fetched, it dequeues another Cell class, which is the same one accessed for all the sections.

There are 2 buttons in each cell. When I press the button, a value changes within the database. When I re-run the program, the cell in which the button was pressed has moved to its corresponding section that it should be in as per the change. However, I want to achieve this as soon as I press the button. How can I move the cell from one section to another, baring in mind that they the cells presented are inside a collectionview cell making up the sections, which is then inside a greater UICollectionView.? I've tried researching how to do this but no luck, and everyone seems to be using a drag and drop method which seems too complicated for what I am trying to achieve. Would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Answer 1

The approach I followed to achieve the above situation is using a custom Delegation when cell is removing from collectionviews. A container CollectionView has two sections with 2 different cells containing two different Horizontal UICollectionViews. These two collectionview's cells have UIButtons. When tap on one collectionView's button, that particular cell is removed, custom Delegate method calls and another CollectionView's cell is populated. This is the link of the project I have created for this particular scenario. For better understanding, here is a GIF for demonstration.
