UITableView isn't appearing in view? - swift

Question

My tableview isn't loading once I press build, can anyone see what's wrong with the code as to why it's not showing up? In the console, it's printing the data from Firestore, but I can't see anything on the simulator but a white screen.
struct Posts {
var caption:String
}
class CoursesVC: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate {
let tableView = UITableView()
var posts = [Posts]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
view.backgroundColor = .white
self.tableView.dataSource = self
self.tableView.delegate = self
setupViews()
loadPosts()
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
}
func loadPosts() {
let dbUsers = Firestore.firestore().collection("Payouts")
dbUsers.addSnapshotListener { (querySnapshot, error) in
if let error = error {
print("\(error.localizedDescription)")
} else {
for document in (querySnapshot?.documents)! {
if let Caption = document.data()["amount"] as? String {
print(Caption)
var post = Posts(caption: "")
post.caption = Caption
self.posts.append(post)
}
}
DispatchQueue.main.async
{
self.tableView.reloadData()
}
print(self.posts)
}
}
}
private func setupViews() {
let stackView: UIStackView = {
let sv = UIStackView()
sv.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
sv.spacing = 28
sv.axis = .vertical
sv.distribution = .fill
sv.alignment = .fill
return sv
}()
view.addSubview(stackView)
view.addSubview(tableView)
}
}
extension CoursesVC: UITableViewDataSource {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return posts.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
let post = posts[indexPath.row]
cell.textLabel?.text = post.caption
return cell
}
}

You forgot to assign frame to your tableView. As you are adding your tableView programatically so, you have to set frame for your tableView. Write below code in your setupViews() method.
E.g. tableView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: 450.0)
Change tableView frame as per your requirement.
