UICollectionView's cell registerClass in Swift

Question

Right now I\'m using NSClassFromString, but is there a better way to get an AnyClass! from a class in Swift? I am trying to pass the reference to m

Answer 1

NSClassFromString("MyCoolViewCell")might get nil.
Should add module name in prefix:
collectionView.registerClass(NSClassFromString("MyApp.MyCoolViewCell"), forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "MyCoolViewCell")

If cellClass not a variable, use MyCoolViewCell.self is a better choice.

Answer 2

In case you are using a nib file, use this code instead:

    let nib = UINib(nibName: "MyCoolViewCell", bundle: nil)
    collectionView?.register(nib, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "MyCoolViewCellIdentifier")

Answer 3

In Swift 3:

self.collectionView.register(CustomCollectionViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "CustomCollectionViewCellReuseIdentifier")

Answer 4

This is currently just a blind but educated guess, but using Class.self might be what you want.

collectionView.registerClass(MyCoolViewCell.self, forCellWithReuseIdentifier: "MyCoolViewCell")
