Create a dynamically sized table

Question

I want to create a dynamic list just like the one in Slack, specifically the Channels, which updates with which channels you're a part of:

However, I have no idea where to start. While I'm using the SWRevealViewController Library, it only has a static table in the examples, not a dynamic one. While I'm working through this apple documentation, it's still not specific to interacting with SWRevealViewController, which I would prefer, although I certainly wouldn't mind a non-SWRevealViewController method. I'd definitely appreciate some tips to head in the right direction! All my view controllers show up properly right now, so I'm in the process of adding information to them.

You may use this tutorial to create such menu:

You have only to substitute those static UITableViewController with dynamic. You may easily find how to create dynamic. Its body will be something like this one:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
    // Return the number of sections.
    return 1;
}

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    // Return the number of rows in the section.
    return menuItems.count;
}

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

    NSString *CellIdentifier = @"cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    return cell;
}
