Im trying to implement a solution that requires to have a TableView nested in a CollectionView Cell. For some reason then the table view is initialised, it is found as nil. That action is done from within the CollectionView Cell class.
This is the code snippet with the relevant functions:
class MNMessgesCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate{
@IBOutlet weak var _tableView: UITableView!
var _messages : [MedNegMessage]?
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
func setUpViews() {
_tableView.delegate = self
_tableView.dataSource = self
_tableView.register(UINib(nibName: "MessageMNcell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "messageCell")
}
func setUpCell(message: [MedNegMessage])
{
_messages = message
}
}
class DashboardViewController: UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDataSource{
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
_collectionView.register(MNMessgesCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "MNmessages")
guard let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "MNmessages",
for: indexPath) as? MNMessgesCollectionViewCell
else { return UICollectionViewCell()}
cell.setUpViews()
cell.setUpCell(message: self.messagesMN[indexPath.row])
return cell
}
}
Error is always thrown at _tableView.delegate = self
Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value
Any advice?
