Passing data between multiple UICollectionViewCell - swift

Question

I got a collection view with 2 different sections. I want to tap a cell in one of the sections and pass the text in that cell to a text view, which is in a separate cell in its own section.
This is what I tried so far, but nothing happened. I am trying to send the notes data to another cell. I can print the data when the cell is tapped.
Updated: This is the cell with the text view that I want to pass the selected cell data to.
// cell that I am trying to passing data to
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = myCollectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "notesView", for: indexPath) as! TestViewCollectionViewCell
cell.myTextView.text = .....
return cell
}
// Cell that I am passing data from
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.section == 0 {
// Cell that I want to send data to
let cell = myCollectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "notesView", for: indexPath) as! TestViewCollectionViewCell
let myNotes = notes[indexPath.row]
cell.myTextView.text = myNotes.textView
}
}

Answer 1

Here is the way you can correct that:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.section == 0 {
//First get your selected cell
if let cell = collectionView.cellForItem(at: indexPath) as? TestViewCollectionViewCell {
//Now get selected cell text here
//update your section two array with new values
//Reload your collection view.
} else {
// Error indexPath is not on screen: this should never happen.
}
}
