Adding a Menu to the app menu in AppKit using NSMenu - swift

Question

I'm trying to add a menu to the app menu through Appkit by using the NSMenu Class. But I'm not sure how to call it so far I've tried:
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
var window: NSWindow!
var menu: NSMenu!
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
// Create the SwiftUI view that provides the window contents.
let contentView = ContentView()
// Create the window and set the content view.
window = NSWindow(
contentRect: NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 480, height: 512),
styleMask: [.titled, .closable, .miniaturizable, .resizable, .fullSizeContentView],
backing: .buffered, defer: false)
window.isReleasedWhenClosed = false
window.center()
window.setFrameAutosaveName("Main Window")
window.contentView = NSHostingView(rootView: contentView)
window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil)
class myMenu: NSMenu {
init(aTitle: "HelloWorld")
}
}
But this only gives me "Expected parameter type following ':'" and "'required' initializer 'init(coder:)' must be provided by subclass of 'NSMenu'".

I use separate functions for buildWnd and buildMenu, but this should work using your technique. Create a new file in your swift project called main.swift and delete the pre-existing AppDelegate. Copy/paste this code into the main.swift file.
import Cocoa
class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {
var window: NSWindow!
// var menu: NSMenu!
func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) {
// Create the SwiftUI view that provides the window contents.
// let contentView = ContentView()
// Create the window and set the content view.
window = NSWindow(
contentRect: NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 480, height: 512),
styleMask: [.titled, .closable, .miniaturizable, .resizable, .fullSizeContentView],
backing: .buffered, defer: false)
window.isReleasedWhenClosed = false
window.center()
window.setFrameAutosaveName("Main Window")
// window.contentView = NSHostingView(rootView: contentView)
window.makeKeyAndOrderFront(nil)
let mainMenu = NSMenu()
NSApp.mainMenu = mainMenu
// **** App menu **** //
let appMenuItem = NSMenuItem()
mainMenu.addItem(appMenuItem)
let appMenu = NSMenu()
appMenuItem.submenu = appMenu
appMenu.addItem(withTitle:"Quit", action:#selector(NSApplication.terminate), keyEquivalent: "q")
}
}
let appDelegate = AppDelegate()
// **** Main **** //
let application = NSApplication.shared
application.delegate = appDelegate
//application.activate(ignoringOtherApps:true)
application.run()
