enter image description here

code here :

class SuggestNearTableViewCollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell , UITableViewDataSource,UITableViewDelegate{ @IBOutlet weak var suggestTableView : UITableView! override func awakeFromNib() { super.awakeFromNib() // Initialization code self.suggestTableView.dataSource = self self.suggestTableView.delegate = self suggestTableView.register(UINib(nibName: "SuggestNearTableViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "SuggestNearTableViewCell") } func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int { return 1 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { return 5 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "SuggestNearTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as!

First of all go to File-> new -> Cocoa Touch Class and create class of UIViewCOntroller. Name your class accordingly.

enter image description here

Now you will have a Xib file and a Swift file. Xib would look something like this.

enter image description here

Now drag and drop a UITableView on the Xib and give it 4-pin constraints as top=0, bottom=0, leadin=0, and trailing=0. Now create an outlet of your tableView in your newly created swift file. Connect data Source and delegate as well.

Now again go to File->New-> Coucoa Touch Class and create a class for UItableViewCell also create a Xib file like below.

enter image description here

Now you will have a Xib for your cell and a swift file for your cell. Just design your cell as your need in this Xib. Lets say If you want to put an imageView or a label etc. Then create outlets of all components in swift file of your custom cell. Now add this function in swift file of your custom cell.

 class func cellForTableView(tableView: UITableView, atIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> YourCustomTableViewCell { let kYourCustomTableViewCellIdentifier = "kYourCustomTableViewCellIdentifier" tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "YourCustomTableViewCell", bundle: NSBundle.mainBundle()), forCellReuseIdentifier: kYourCustomTableViewCellIdentifier) let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(kYourCustomTableViewCellIdentifier, forIndexPath: indexPath) as! YourCustomTableViewCell return cell }

Your custom cell is ready to use.

Now go to the swift file of your tableView and in your cellForRowAtIndexPath just use use this cell like below.

let cell = YourCustomTableViewCell.cellForTableView(tableView, atIndexPath: indexPath) cell.myImageView.image = "something" // Do something with your cell

I hope it would be helpfull. Let me know if you find any difficulty.

Inside tableViewController in viewDidLoad you should register it like this:

tableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "CustomOneCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "CustomCellOne")

And inside cellForRowAtIndexPath just declare cell:

let cell: CustomOneCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CustomCellOne", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! CustomOneCell

If you are not doing it inside tableViewController then you gotta connect your tableView and delegate:

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource { @IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView! ... override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. // Table view delegate self.tableView.delegate = self self.tableView.dataSource = self ...
