Vox cocoapod for JSONAPI doesn't build due to fatalError

Question

So I installed the pod for Vox on github and it's not building at all. Instead, I keep getting the error below.

I through overriding just meant referring to the class in a different place and changing its computer properties? I'm not sure why it's building and would love some help.

open class var resourceType: String {
    fatalError("Must override `static var resourceType: String`")        
}

You need to override the class. An example class can be found in the Vox repo. The class Player is a subclass of Resource. It overrides the resourceType variable. The overridden variable returns the string "Player". Note that it does not return super.resourceType since that would call fatalError.

fileprivate class Player: Resource {
    override class var resourceType: String {
        return "Player"
    }

    @objc dynamic var items: [Resource]?
    @objc dynamic var titles: [String]?
}

A more general example of overriding taken from Overriding properties in swift is:

public class FooButton {
    public var weight: Double = 1.0
}

public class BarButton: FooButton {
    override public var weight: Double = 2.0
}
