Create CollectionView using .xib?

I want to create CollectionView using .xib file where i will add UICollectionViewCell using .xib too. Can we achieve it? If possible, please mention how do we get it.

Solution

  • Unlike storyboards, .xib files don't support prototype cells. So any collection view you create using a .xib, you must also create a UINib and register it with the collection view before attempting to dequeue anything:

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