Inputing data to different struct in a different class - ios

Question

I already search in the internet, I still don't understand how to insert a value to a variable. im trying to insert a value to a variable so i can append it into an array and then put it inside a tableviewcell.
I understand how the cells works, i just wanted to know how can i insert a data to this variable
Here's the code for my struct
import Foundation
import UIKit
enum issueType: String {
case major = "Major", blocker = "Blocker", minor = "Minor"
}
struct Issue {
var id: String
var tester: String
var type: issueType
var title: String
var appName: String
var desc: String
var date: Date
var bgColor: UIColor?
init(){
id = ""
tester = ""
type = .minor
title = ""
appName = ""
desc = ""
date = Date()
bgColor = UIColor.main()
}
init(item: [String:Any]){
self.init()
id = item["id"] as? String ?? ""
tester = item["tester"] as? String ?? ""
title = item["title"] as? String ?? ""
appName = item["appName"] as? String ?? ""
desc = item["desc"] as? String ?? ""
if type == .major {
bgColor = UIColor.main()
}
else if type == .blocker {
bgColor = UIColor.blue
}
else {
bgColor = UIColor.green
}
}
}
Here's the code for the variable in the superDidLoad from different a class
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
var issue1 = Issue(id: "id", tester: "tester", type: .minor, title: "title", appName: "appName", desc: "desc", date: Date())
issue1.bgColor = UIColor.main()
array.append(issue1)
}

Answer 1

Your UITableViewCell subclass should have some variable of type Issue
class YourSubclass: UITableViewCell {
var issue: Issue?
...
}
then in cellForRowAt TableView data source method assign cell's variable as element from array with index equal to indexPath.row
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
...
cell.issue = array[indexPath.row]
...
}

After adding your own initializer to the struct you lost default memberwise initializer.
To avoid this use extension:
struct Issue {
var id: String
var tester: String
var type: issueType
var title: String
var appName: String
var desc: String
var date: Date
var bgColor: UIColor?
}
extension Issue {
init(){
id = ""
tester = ""
type = .minor
title = ""
appName = ""
desc = ""
date = Date()
bgColor = UIColor.main()
}
init(item: [String:Any]){
self.init()
id = item["id"] as? String ?? ""
tester = item["tester"] as? String ?? ""
title = item["title"] as? String ?? ""
appName = item["appName"] as? String ?? ""
desc = item["desc"] as? String ?? ""
if type == .major {
bgColor = UIColor.main()
}
else if type == .blocker {
bgColor = UIColor.blue
}
else {
bgColor = UIColor.green
}
}
}
But even in this case you must to init all properties by default initializer including 'bgColor'.
var issue1 = Issue(id: "id", tester: "tester", type: .minor, title: "title", appName: "appName", desc: "desc", date: Date(), bgColor: nil)
