Swift - TableViewCell 中的自定义 textLabel

Question

at the moment I have a UITableView where the user can add cells that have a textLabel inside of it.

That is how I set the label :

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: WhishCell.reuseID, for: indexPath)
    let currentWish = self.wishList[indexPath.row]
    cell.textLabel?.text = currentWish.wishName
    cell.backgroundColor = .clear

    return cell
}

My question is, how I can custom textLabel (font, constraints,...). I tried creating a custom UILabel inside my WishCell class but I can not access it in cellforRowAt with cell.theLabel .

I hope you understand my problem, I am very grateful for every help :)

SOLVED

I just forgot the as! WhishCell as! WhishCell in cellForRowAt . Thanks for all your help :)

Answer 1

You need to cast to you cell custom class name

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: WhishCell.reuseID, for: indexPath) as! CellName
cell.lbl.text = ////

---

 class CellName:UITableViewCell {
    let lbl = UILabel() 
   override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
    super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier) 
       lbl.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
       self.contentView.addSubview(lbl)
       // set constraints here 
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
       super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }
 }

Dont force un-wrap it.. try using guard or if let

guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: WhishCell.reuseID, for: indexPath) as? WhishCell else{
  return UITableViewCell()
}
cell.lbl.text = "my text" 
let currentWish = self.wishList[indexPath.row]
cell.textLabel?.text = currentWish.wishName
cell.backgroundColor = .clear

return cell
