How pass data to an UICollectionView embedded in a TableViewCell (xCode - iOS - Swift 3)

Question

I implemented a CollectionView in a TableViewCell but I need read dynamic data for set cells on CollectionView.

I can read data on extension from class TableViewCel

The simplest way is create one method inside your MultipleTableViewCell with datasource array that you want to fill with CollectionView. Now call this method in cellForRowAt method of TableView.

class MultipleTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

     @IBOutlet fileprivate weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!

     var array = [String]() //Change with Your array type

     func fillCollectionView(with array: [String]) {
          self.array = array
          self.collectionView.reloadData()
     }
}

Now call this method in cellForRowAt and pass the datasource array for collectionView.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CellIdentifier") as! MultipleTableViewCell
    cell.fillCollectionView(with: ["A","B","C"]) //Pass your array
    return cell
}
