registerNib - Create UITableView programmatically with a custom XIB file as the prototype cell

1.  Add a new file. Select UITableViewCell as subclass. Select 'Also create XIB file'.

2. Edit the XIB file as the prototype cell.

3. Control-drag the labels to the MyTableViewCell.swift:

import UIKit

class MyTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet weak var myString1: UILabel!

    

    @IBOutlet weak var myString2: UILabel!

    

    override func awakeFromNib() {

        super.awakeFromNib()

        // Initialization code

    }

    override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {

        super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)

        // Configure the view for the selected state

    }

    

}

4. Complete the file ViewController.swift as below:

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {

    

    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()

        

        var myTableView = UITableView(frame: self.view.bounds, style: UITableViewStyle.Plain)

        myTableView.dataSource = self

        myTableView.delegate = self

        

        myTableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()

        

        myTableView.frame = CGRectMake(20, 50, 250, 400)//Optional for table size

        

        myTableView.registerNib(UINib(nibName: "MyTableViewCell", bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier: "myIdentifier")

        

        self.view.addSubview(myTableView)

    }

    

    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {

        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()

        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.

    }

    

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

        return 5

    }

    

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        let myCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("myIdentifier") as! MyTableViewCell

        myCell.myString1.text = "Row \(indexPath.row)"

        myCell.myString2.text = "String \(indexPath.row)"

        return myCell

    }

    

}

5. Run the app and get this result:
