To create a custom UICollectionViewCell in Swift, follow these steps:
Create a new file (File > New > File > iOS > Cocoa Touch Class) and select "UICollectionViewCell" as the subclass.
Give your class a name, such as "CustomCell".
In the new file that you just created, add any IBOutlets and IBActions that you need for your custom cell. For example, if you want to display an image and a label, you might add:
main.swift89 chars3 lines
Go to your storyboard or XIB file that contains your UICollectionView and select the cell that you want to customize.
In the Identity Inspector, change the class of the cell to your custom class ("CustomCell" in this example).
Add any subviews that you need to the cell, such as an image view or label.
In the Attributes Inspector, give each subview a unique tag. For example, you might give the image view a tag of 100 and the title label a tag of 101.
In your collectionView(_:cellForItemAt:)
method, dequeue an instance of your custom cell and cast it to your custom class. For example:
main.swift115 chars2 lines
Set the content of the cell's subviews using the tags that you assigned in step 7. For example:
main.swift106 chars3 lines
That's it! You've now created a custom UICollectionViewCell in Swift.
