    self.acView = mainView
    self.view.addSubview(acView)
    acView.setAnchor(top: view.topAnchor, left: view.leftAnchor, bottom: view.bottomAnchor, right: view.rightAnchor, paddingTop: 0, paddingLeft: 0, paddingBottom: 0, paddingRight: 0)
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return elements.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return 100
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell:ActiveCaseCellView = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "customCell") as! ActiveCaseCellView

    cell.cellView.layer.cornerRadius = cell.cellView.frame.height / 2

    cell.lblCell.text = elements[indexPath.row]
    return cell
}

Answer 1

Open your .xib file and drag and drop UITableViewCell not UIView.

After that select attribute inspector you will see cell identifier textbook where you need to set cell identifier

Don't forget to register table view cell before using it!!

self.tableView.registerClass(<YourCustomCellClass>, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cellIdentifier")

or

let nib = UINib(nibName: "YourNibFileName", bundle: nil)

tableView.register(nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cellIdentifier")
