How can I get user to input text in a text field inside a xib cell in swift - swift

Question

I have created a xib cell with two textfields. The textfield are connected as IBoutlets to the xib swift file. The xib cell is registered on the view controller as a Nib. When I run the app on a simulator I cannot get the keyboard to show up. Secondly, the textfields are not editable at all, that is the cursor doesn't even show. I would like to get help with this as I have tried using a label the same thing happens. I'm just not sure how to fix this one. I'm not getting errors on build. I have installed IQKeyboardManager from cocoapods. Thanks in advance.
Heres the code:
import UIKit
class DictionaryCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var DictBubble: UIView!
#IBOutlet weak var DictSymbolTextfield: UITextField!
#IBOutlet weak var SymbolMeaningTextfield: UITextView!
override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()
// Initialization code
}
override func setSelected(_ selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
// Configure the view for the selected state
}
}
Here is the view controller code:
import UIKit
import Firebase
class PersonalDreamDictionaryViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
#IBOutlet weak var dictionaryTextfield: UITextField!
let db = Firestore.firestore()
var dreamDictionary: [DreamDictionary] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
tableView.dataSource = self
tableView.delegate = self
title = K.Dictionary.appName
tableView.register(UINib(nibName: K.Dictionary.cellNibName, bundle: nil), forCellReuseIdentifier:
K.Dictionary.cellIdentifier)
loadDictionaryList()
}
func loadDictionaryList() {
db.collection(K.Fstore1.collectionName)
.order(by: K.Fstore1.date)
.addSnapshotListener{ (QuerySnapshot, error) in
self.dreamDictionary = []
if let e = error {
print("There was an issue retrieving data from Firestore. \(e)")
} else {
if let snapshotDocuments = QuerySnapshot?.documents {
for doc in snapshotDocuments {
//print(doc.data())
let data = doc.data()
if let symbolRetrieved = data[K.Fstore1.symbol] as? String, let meaningRetrieved = data[K.Fstore1.meaning] as? String {
let newDictList = DreamDictionary(mysymbol: symbolRetrieved, mymeaning: meaningRetrieved)
self.dreamDictionary.append(newDictList)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
extension PersonalDreamDictionaryViewController: UITableViewDataSource {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return dreamDictionary.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let dictCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: K.Dictionary.cellIdentifier, for: indexPath)
as! DictionaryCell
if let symbolInput = dictCell.DictSymbolTextfield.text, let meaningInput = dictCell.SymbolMeaningTextfield.text { db.collection(K.Fstore1.collectionName).addDocument(data: [
K.Fstore1.symbol: symbolInput,
K.Fstore1.meaning: meaningInput,
K.Fstore1.date: Date().timeIntervalSince1970
]) { (error) in
if let e = error {
print("There was an issue saving data to firesore, \(e)")
} else {
print("Successfully saved data.")
}
}
}
return dictCell
}
}
extension PersonalDreamDictionaryViewController: UITableViewDelegate {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willBeginEditingRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
print(indexPath.row)
}
}
