@Kurbz的回答很棒，但我想留下这张纸条，希望这个答案可以节省人们一些时间。

我的控制器中偶尔会出现这些线条，它们会导致滑动功能无法工作。

- (UITableViewCellEditingStyle)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView editingStyleForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone; 
}

如果你使用UITableViewCellEditingStyleInsert或UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone作为编辑样式，那么滑动功能就不起作用了。你只能使用UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete，这是默认的样式。

Swift 2.2:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
    editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let delete = UITableViewRowAction(style: UITableViewRowActionStyle.Default, title: "DELETE"){(UITableViewRowAction,NSIndexPath) -> Void in

    print("Your action when user pressed delete")
}
let edit = UITableViewRowAction(style: UITableViewRowActionStyle.Normal, title: "EDIT"){(UITableViewRowAction,NSIndexPath) -> Void in

    print("Your action when user pressed edit")
}
    return [delete, block]
}

斯威夫特4

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]? {
    let delete = UITableViewRowAction(style: .destructive, title: "delete") { (action, indexPath) in
        // delete item at indexPath
    tableView.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .fade)

    }
    return [delete]
}

在启动期间(-viewDidLoad或在storyboard)做:

self.tableView.allowsMultipleSelectionDuringEditing = false

重写以支持表视图的条件编辑。只有当你要为某些项返回NO时，才需要执行这个操作。默认情况下，所有项目都是可编辑的。

- (BOOL)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView canEditRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    // Return YES if you want the specified item to be editable.
    return YES;
}

// Override to support editing the table view.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
        //add code here for when you hit delete
    }    
}

在iOS 8和Swift 2.0中，请尝试这个，

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> Bool {
   // let the controller to know that able to edit tableView's row 
   return true
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEdittingStyle editingStyle UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)  {
   // if you want to apply with iOS 8 or earlier version you must add this function too. (just left in blank code)
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, editActionsForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> [UITableViewRowAction]?  {
   // add the action button you want to show when swiping on tableView's cell , in this case add the delete button.
   let deleteAction = UITableViewRowAction(style: .Default, title: "Delete", handler: { (action , indexPath) -> Void in

   // Your delete code here.....
   .........
   .........
   })

   // You can set its properties like normal button
   deleteAction.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()

   return [deleteAction]
}

这段代码展示了如何实现删除。

#pragma mark - UITableViewDataSource

// Swipe to delete.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if (editingStyle == UITableViewCellEditingStyleDelete) {
        [_chats removeObjectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
        [tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];
    }
}

可选地，在初始化覆盖中，添加下面的行来显示Edit按钮项:

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
