swiftEntryKit custom pop up nib not loading data - ios

Question

I have a custom popup from a nib using swiftEntryKit which displays data from the user the currentUser has clicked on.
I have a nib file called UserRequestView
and a UIView class called UserRequestView
I also have another UIView class called UserRequestPreviewView which is the nibs custom class and sets up all of the data on the nib file
when the currentUser selects another user from a collectionView inside of NewHomeViewController the currentUser is presented with a popup screen asking whether to send a friend request. To present the popup view I use this:
`SwiftEntryKit.display(entry: UserRequestView(), using: popupAttributes)`
and to load data into the nib:
if let popupView = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("UserRequestView", owner: self, options: nil)!.first as? UserRequestPreviewView {
popupView.currentUser = self.currentUser
popupView.user = self.users[self.theUserIndex]
}
When running the project and clicking on to a user, the popup is displayed fine and the data has loaded into the nib, However, the images and text on the nib have not changed.
for more context, here is the UserRequestView class:
class UserRequestView: UIView {
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: aDecoder)
setup()
}
init() {
super.init(frame: .zero)
setup()
}
private func setup() {
fromNib()
}
}
the method fromNib is an extension of UIView:
extension UIView {
#discardableResult
func fromNib<T : UIView>() -> T? {
guard let contentView = Bundle(for: type(of: self)).loadNibNamed(type(of: self).className, owner: self, options: nil)?.first as? T else {
return nil
}
addSubview(contentView)
contentView.fillSuperview()
return contentView
}
}
and the class I use to setup the nib to display the data:
class UserRequestPreviewView: UIView {
#IBOutlet weak var userProfileImage: roundedImage!
#IBOutlet weak var userFirstLastName: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var usersBirthday: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var friendsOptionBtn: UIButton!
var currentUser: User!
var user: User! {
didSet {
if currentUser != nil {
print("the current user = \(currentUser.firstName)")
print("this user = \(user.firstName)")
setUp()
}
}
}
var cache = SAMCache.shared()
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
layer.applySketchShadow()
layer.cornerRadius = 20
layer.masksToBounds = false
friendsOptionBtn.layer.cornerRadius = friendsOptionBtn.bounds.height / 2.0
friendsOptionBtn.layer.masksToBounds = true
userProfileImage.layer.cornerRadius = userProfileImage.bounds.height / 2.0
userProfileImage.layer.masksToBounds = true
friendsOptionBtn.isEnabled = true
}
func setUp(){
print("got to set up")
let profileImageKey = "\(user.uid)-profileImage"
if let image = cache?.object(forKey: profileImageKey) as? UIImage{
self.userProfileImage.image = image
print("setting image 1")
}else{
user.downloadProfilePicture { [weak self] (image, error) in
if let image = image {
self?.userProfileImage.image = image
print("setting image 2")
self?.cache?.setObject(image, forKey: profileImageKey)
}else if error != nil {
print(error)
}
}
}
userFirstLastName.text = "\(user.firstName) \(user.lastName)"
usersBirthday.text = "\(user.birthday)"
}
}
I know that the currentUser and user have been set into the nib because the print statements show in the console
"got to set up" prints and so does "setting image 1"
I don't understand why the images and text are not displaying in the nib. Does anyone have a solution? thanks.
