I am trying to add SwiftUI Preview canvas to my uikit project as below. But I am receiving an error. How can I get rid off this error so I can see my preview?
Error is Cannot convert return expression of type 'DonationCell' to return type 'UIViewController' inside the preview.
Thanks in advance.
class DonationCell: BaseCell {
private lazy var containerView: UIView = {
let view = UIView()
view.backgroundColor = .white
view.layer.cornerRadius = 8
//view.layer.applyButtonShadow()
//view.clipsToBounds = true
return view
}()
extension DonationCell: SetupCodeView {
func setupAdditionalConfiguration() {
self.backgroundColor = Constants.Colors.backgroundColor
}
func buildViewHierarchy() {
self.contentView.addSubviews(containerView)
}
func setupConstraints() {
containerView.anchor(
top: self.topAnchor,
leading: self.leadingAnchor,
bottom: self.bottomAnchor,
trailing: self.trailingAnchor,
padding: .init(top: 0, left: 0, bottom: 0, right: 0)
)
}
import SwiftUI
struct MainPreview: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
ContainerView().edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
}
struct ContainerView: UIViewControllerRepresentable {
func makeUIViewController(context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<MainPreview.ContainerView>) -> UIViewController {
return DonationCell() // Cannot convert return expression of type 'DonationCell' to return type 'UIViewController'
}
func updateUIViewController(_ uiViewController: MainPreview.ContainerView.UIViewControllerType, context: UIViewControllerRepresentableContext<MainPreview.ContainerView>) {
}
}
}
Also My BaseCell
class BaseCell: UICollectionViewCell {
let font = Constants.Fonts.self
let colors = Constants.Colors.self
let buttonTitle = Constants.ButtonTitles.self
let constraint = Constants.Constraints.self
let shadow = Constants.Shadows.self
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setupViews()
}
func setupViews() {
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not veen implemented")
}
}
class BaseHeader: UICollectionReusableView {
override init(frame: CGRect) {
super.init(frame: frame)
setupViews()
}
func setupViews() {
}
required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
fatalError("init(coder:) has not veen implemented")
}
}
Your DonationCell
is-a UIView
, not a controller, so representable should be
struct ContainerView: UIViewRepresentable {
func makeUIView(context: Context) -> DonationCell {
DonationCell()
}
func updateUIView(_ uiView: DonationCell, context: Context) {
}
}
}
