UITableView - registerClass with Swift

Is anyone else having an issue using the tableView.registerClass method with Swift?

It no longer comes in code completion for me (nor can I use it if manually typed) but it is still in the headers...

Solution 1:

It works for me perfectly.

self.tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")

Exactly as I have it above.

Solution 2:

For Swift 2.2 Register For Default Cell From Class

self.tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "DefaultCell")

For Swift 3.0 Register For Default Cell From Class

self.tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "DefaultCell")

For Swift 2.2 Register For Default Cell From Nib

self.tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "CustomCellName", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "CustomCellIdentifer")

For Swift 3.0 Register For Default Cell From Nib

self.tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "CustomCellName", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "CustomCellName")

Note: Storyboard created cell is called prototype cell and have some procedure to register prototype cell like Nib.And Don't forget to set the cell identifier like below.

Solution 3:

Swift has once again renamed it to

tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier:"DefaultCell")

Really don't understand why they bothered so much about this particular naming

Solution 4:

Updated for Swift 5

Register TableView Cell in viewDidLoad If you are using Default Cell

tableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "MyTableCell")

Register TableView Cell in viewDidLoad If you are using Custom Nib/XIB Cell

tableView.register(UINib(nibName: "MyCustomCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "MyCustomCell")

Solution 5:

I prefer to use TableViewCell.self to generate the identifier string. It can reduce the typing error.

tableView.register(MyCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: String(describing: MyCell.self))
