How to inherit function from a ViewController class-CodePudding

I am trying to inherit a function reloadTableView() from class HomeViewController. The function is used to just reload the tableView.

This is the HomeViewController with the reload function declared.

class HomeViewController: UIViewController {

    
    func reloadTableView(){
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.tableView.reloadData()
            
  
            
        }
        
    } 
}

I want to call this reload function from another UIViewController class. Can anyone help me with how I could inherit and use this function

CodePudding user response：

I’m not sure if you really need to inherit here, but if you want, you can do it like that: class AnotherViewController: HomeViewController. Now you can use your reloadTableView() in this class.

CodePudding user response：

It looks like the tableView is not specifically attributed to HomeViewController. Therefore, adding the TableView class directly to ViewController could be a solution. However, without seeing the use of HomeViewController and TableView this may not work if there are functions from HomeViewController you would also like to use.

Something like this could work:

class OtherViewController: UIViewController {
    var tableView = TableView()

    func reloadTableView(){
        DispatchQueue.main.async {
            self.tableView.reloadData()
        }
    } 
}
