You can let your view controller become a ZTDropDownTextFieldDataSourceDelegate by doing the following:

dropDownTextField.dataSourceDelegate = self

Example of implementing ZTDropDownTextFieldDataSourceDelegate method

extension ViewController: ZTDropDownTextFieldDataSourceDelegate {
 func dropDownTextField(dropDownTextField: ZTDropDownTextField, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
     return myList.count
 }
 
 func dropDownTextField(dropDownTextField: ZTDropDownTextField, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
     var cell = dropDownTextField.dropDownTableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("Cell") as? UITableViewCell
     if cell == nil {
         cell = UITableViewCell(style: .Default, reuseIdentifier: "Cell")
     }
     
     cell!.textLabel!.text = myList[indexPath.row]
     
     return cell!
 }
 
 func dropDownTextField(dropdownTextField: ZTDropDownTextField, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
    println("drop down list row did select")
 }
}

    case Flip
}
  dropDownTextField.animationStyle = .Slide
