How to subclass UITableViewController in Swift

Question

I want to subclass UITableViewController and be able to instantiate it by calling a default initializer with no arguments.

class TestViewController: UITableV         


        

Answer 1

matt's answer is the most complete, but if you do want to use a tableViewController in the .plain style (say for legacy reasons). Then all you need to do is call

super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)

instead of

super.init(style: UITableViewStyle.Plain) or self.init(style: UITableViewStyle.Plain)
