Swift UICollectionView inside UITableViewCell Programmatically - ios

Question

Greeting folks,
I'm trying to add UICollectionView inside UITableViewCell Programmatically , however the collectionView is not called ever. I went through the code several times with no luck. I looked around to find out also with no luck. I went through Youtube tutorials I found them do the same.
would you help please ☹️
class adsTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
var adsImages: [UIImage]? {
didSet{
collectionView.reloadData()
}
}
let cellID = "Celled"
let collectionView: UICollectionView = {
let layout = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()
layout.minimumLineSpacing = 10
layout.scrollDirection = .horizontal
let cv = UICollectionView(frame: .zero, collectionViewLayout: layout)
cv.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
cv.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
return cv
}()
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
self.collectionView.delegate = self
self.collectionView.dataSource = self
collectionView.register(imageCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: cellID)
collectionView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor).isActive = true
collectionView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
collectionView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
collectionView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
collectionView.showsHorizontalScrollIndicator = false
collectionView.isPagingEnabled = false
self.addSubview(collectionView)
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
extension adsTableViewCell: UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout{
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 5
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: cellID, for: indexPath) as! imageCell
if let imageName = adsImages?[indexPath.item]{
cell.imageView.image = imageName
}
return cell
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
return CGSize(width: 300, height: frame.height - 10)
}
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {
return UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: 14, bottom: 0, right: 14)
}
private class imageCell: UICollectionViewCell {
let imageView: UIImageView = {
let iv = UIImageView()
iv.contentMode = .scaleAspectFill
iv.clipsToBounds = true
iv.layer.cornerRadius = 10
return iv
}()
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setup()
}
func setup(){
addSubview(imageView)
imageView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor).isActive = true
imageView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.bottomAnchor).isActive = true
imageView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
imageView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
}
}
}
This is the UITableView, cellForRowAt
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "addViewCell", for: indexPath) as! adsTableViewCell
cell.adsImages = images
cell.collectionView.reloadData()
cell.backgroundColor = UIColor.systemTeal
cell.selectionStyle = .none
return cell
}

I found the Solution
simply I had to change :
override func awakeFromNib() {
To
override required init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
setup()
}
and it is work fine now
