App not Updated for Newer Version of Swift

Question

I have realized, as I've gone through the swift lessons, that I am using a newer version of Swift than the lessons use. I would really like to finish the app, but now I'm stuck at lesson 12/18, slide 4/4 where it says:

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cellIdentifier = "ItemTableViewCell"
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(
cellIdentifier, forIndexPath:indexPath) as! ItemTableViewCell

let item = items[indexPath.row]

cell.nameLabel.text = item.name

return cell
}

In my version the code says this:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cellIdentifier = "ItemTableViewCell"
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellIdentifier, for: indexPath)

let item = items[indexPath.row]

cell.textLabel.text = item.name

return cell
}
There is no member nameLabel so I changed mine to textLabel, but that is giving me an error. Has someone figured this out?

Answer 1

The problem of in your code is you didn't specify type of cell so your code using default 'UITableViewCell()' instead of your custom created cell 'ItemTableViewCell' . Little thing I didn't saw the slides but I think if you did every thing right in your code this might work as well.

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cellIdentifier = "ItemTableViewCell"
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: cellIdentifier, for: indexPath) as! ItemTableViewCell

let item = items[indexPath.row]

cell.nameLabel.text = item.name

return cell
}

hope this will help
