I assume you add buttons to cell in cellForRowAtIndexPath, then what I would do is to create a custom class subclass UIButton, add a tag called rowNumber, and append that data while you adding button to cell.
@H2CO3 is right. You can do what @user523234 suggested, but with a small change, to respect the UITableViewCellContentView that should come in between the UIButton and the UITableViewCell. So to modify his code:
If you create a custom UITableViewCell (your own subclass), then you can simply call self in the IBAction. You can link the IBAction function to your button by using storyboard or programmatically when you set up the cell.
let buttonPosition = sender.convert(CGPoint(), to:tableView)
let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForRow(at:buttonPosition)
That will give you the indexPath based on the position of the button that was pressed. Then you'd just call cellForRowAtIndexPath if you need the cell or indexPath.row if you need the row number.
If you're paranoid, you can check for if (indexPath) ... before using it just in case the indexPath isn't found for that point on the table view.
All of the other answers are likely to break if Apple decides to change the view structure.
@IBAction func doSomething(_ sender: UIButton) {
let buttonPosition = sender.convert(CGPoint(), to: tableView)
let index = tableView.indexPathForRow(at: buttonPosition)
}
Two minor comments:
The default function has sender type as Any, which doesn't have convert.
