Loading a XIB file to a UIView Swift


I am trying to load my XIB file into a UIView but I am having some trouble. I have the required override functions but they seem to be crashing. Saying this error, warning:

could not load any Objective-C class information. This will significantly reduce the quality of type information available.

I was wondering if someone could show me how to properly load the XIB file into a UIView

import UIKit

class Widget: UIView {

    let view = UIView()

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)

        //call function

        loadNib()

    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)

        loadNib()

        //fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    func loadNib() {
        let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
        let nib = UINib(nibName: "nib", bundle: bundle)
        let view = nib.instantiateWithOwner(self, options: nil)[0] as! UIView
        view.frame = bounds
        view.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleWidth, .FlexibleHeight]
        self.addSubview(view);  
    }
}

Solution

  • I uses this in one of our projects, might be useful to you

    import UIKit
    
    class RegisterPageView: UIView {
        
            class func instanceFromNib() -> RegisterPageView {
                return UINib(nibName: "RegisterPageView", bundle: nil).instantiateWithOwner(nil, options: nil)[0] as! RegisterPageView
            }
    }
