How can I reload the following viewcontroller with a tableview? - ios

Question

I have a tableview inside a viewcontroller. When pressing a button in the navigation bar I would like the table view to reload.
The view controller is called FirstViewController, the Tableview is called listTableView and the refresh button is called refreshButton
In the code below I have linked the refreshButton action but cannot seem to figure out which function to put inside it to trigger the refresh when pressed.
The following is my code:
import UIKit
class FirstViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate, FeedModelProtocol {
var feedItems: NSArray = NSArray()
var selectedStock : StockModel = StockModel()
let tableView = UITableView()
#IBOutlet weak var listTableView: UITableView!
#IBOutlet weak var refreshButton: UIBarButtonItem!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
//set delegates and initialize FeedModel
self.listTableView.delegate = self
self.listTableView.dataSource = self
let feedModel = FeedModel()
feedModel.delegate = self
feedModel.downloadItems()
}
override var preferredStatusBarStyle: UIStatusBarStyle {
return .lightContent
}
#IBAction func reloadData(_ sender: Any) {
}
func itemsDownloaded(items: NSArray) {
feedItems = items
self.listTableView.reloadData()
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// Return the number of feed items
return feedItems.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
// Retrieve cell
let cellIdentifier: String = "stockCell"
let myCell: UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellIdentifier)!
myCell.textLabel?.textAlignment = .center
// Get the stock to be shown
let item: StockModel = feedItems[indexPath.row] as! StockModel
// Configure our cell title made up of name and price
let titleStr = [item.customer].compactMap { $0 }.joined(separator: "-")
print(titleStr)
// Get references to labels of cell
myCell.textLabel!.text = titleStr
return myCell
}
}

Use yourUITableView.reloadData() for this. Check Apple's Developer page for more info.
