Table view cell not showing in table view controller - ios

Question

I'm new to swift and I'm trying to get my cells to show in tableView. I searched for questions here but none could help. The table loads fine and I get no errors regarding the tableView. Is there something I'm missing?
-I've double-checked the reuse identifier, they are the same
-I removed and readied the outlets
Here is my UITableViewController class:
class DrawerViewController: UITableViewController{
#IBOutlet weak var drawerTable: UITableView!
var currentCell = [DrawerModel]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
addGradientToView(view: drawerTable)
let temp2Model = DrawerModel()
temp2Model.item = "Profile"
temp2Model.icon = "loginbackground2.jpg"
currentCell.append(temp2Model)
drawerTable.delegate = self
drawerTable.dataSource = self
//self.drawerTable.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.none
//self.drawerTable.reloadData()
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = drawerTable.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "drawerCell", for: indexPath) as! DrawerTableViewCell
let tempModel: DrawerModel
tempModel = currentCell[indexPath.row]
cell.thisLabel.text = tempModel.item
print("test1" + tempModel.item! as Any)
let currentImage = UIImage(named: "loginbackground2.jpg")
cell.thisImage = UIImageView(image: currentImage)
return cell
}
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1;
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
print("it ran")
return currentCell.count
}
func addGradientToView(view: UITableView)
{
//gradient layer
let gradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
//define colors
gradientLayer.colors = [UIColor.init(rgb: 0x4b0082).cgColor, UIColor.init(rgb: 0xfa8072).cgColor]
//define locations of colors as NSNumbers in range from 0.0 to 1.0
//if locations not provided the colors will spread evenly
gradientLayer.locations = [0.0, 0.8]
//define frame
gradientLayer.frame = view.bounds
//insert the gradient layer to the view layer
view.layer.insertSublayer(gradientLayer, at: 0)
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
Here is my UITableViewCell class:
class DrawerTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var thisImage: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var thisLabel: UILabel!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}

If you are using UITableViewController (in your case DrawerViewController) it already have a tableView property embedded, which have a delegate and dataSource set to controller.
So when in your case next lines are redundant
drawerTable.delegate = self
drawerTable.dataSource = self
To fix just call tableView.reload() after currentCell.append(temp2Model)
