swift - Set object properties using a UISwitch in a custom cell -

i'm trying should simple, i'm having issues due inexperience swift.

i have viewcontroller has tableview inside of custom cells populated array of objects (called alllistitems). these objects created using realm model object, i'm using instead of core data, think might pertinent. each custom cell has uiswitch in it, , ideally i'd set when user toggles uiswitch, modifies boolean isselected property indexpath.row, , appends object separate array, called selectedlistitems.

all of searching through so, tuts+, , appcoda has revealed should using protocol - delegate pattern here, protocol in custom cell class , delegate in viewcontroller class. after flailing away @ of day haven't had luck, however, think might due arrays being realm model objects.

as mentioned, i'm new swift , programming in general, eli5 responses appreciated! in advance!

for reference, here custom cell:

import uikit  class alllistitemstableviewcell: uitableviewcell {      @iboutlet var toggleisselected: uiswitch!     @iboutlet var listitemlabel: uilabel!    override func awakefromnib() {         super.awakefromnib()         // initialization code     }      override func setselected(selected: bool, animated: bool) {         super.setselected(selected, animated: animated)          // configure view selected state     } } 

instead of suggested protocol / delegate pattern use callback.
easy in swift.

in table view cell declare optional variable closure

var callback : ((uitableviewcell, bool) -> void)? 

and call in ibaction switch

@ibaction func switchchanged(sender : uiswitch) {     callback?(self, sender.on) } 

in cellforrowatindexpath set callback

cell.callback = { (tableviewcell, switchstate) in   if let indexpath = self.tableview.indexpathforcell(tableviewcell) {     // index path , switch state   } } 

to pass cell can useful if cell moved meanwhile recent index path.
