How do I write a custom init for a UIView subclass in Swift?

Question

Say I want to init a UIView subclass with a String and an Int.

How would I do this in Swift if I\'m just subclassing

Swift 5 Solution

You can try out this implementation for running Swift 5 on XCode 11

class CustomView: UIView {

    var customParam: customType
    
    var container = UIView()
    
    required init(customParamArg: customType) {
        self.customParam = customParamArg
        super.init(frame: .zero)
        // Setting up the view can be done here
        setupView()
    }

    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
    

    func setupView() {
        // Can do the setup of the view, including adding subviews

        setupConstraints()
    }
    
    func setupConstraints() {
        // setup custom constraints as you wish
    }
    
    
}
