Stuck displaying CoreData as cells in Table View - swift

Question

I am trying to display items in my List entity on a table view. I believe my issue is a type casting one, but after researching a bit, I've been unable to find a solution. My exact error is "Cannot assign value of type 'List' to type 'String?'.
Below is the code:
import UIKit
import CoreData
class ToBeastViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
var items = [List]()
let matthewsManagedObjectContext = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
let request = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "List")
do {
let response = try matthewsManagedObjectContext.executeFetchRequest(request)
print("Sucess!")
let arrayList = response as! [List]
for item in arrayList {
print(item.item)
}
}
catch {
print("Failed!")
} // numberOfRowsInSection end
return items.count
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
// let cell:UITableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MyCell")! as UITableViewCell
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("MyCell", forIndexPath: indexPath)
// var itemString = List as! item
cell.textLabel?.text = items[indexPath.row]
return cell
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
print("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!")
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
The issue is with the line:
cell.textLabel?.text = items[indexPath.row]
...or at least that's my understanding. I apologize if the formatting is poor or if I am missing information that may help. Some of my attempts to solve this are commented out. Thank you for any help!
Edit*
Below is the code from the View that takes text input and adds it to List:
import UIKit
import CoreData
class JustBeastItViewController: UIViewController {
let matthewsManagedObjectContext = (UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate).managedObjectContext
// var items = [List]()
#IBAction func doneButtonPressed(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
let newManagedObject = NSEntityDescription.insertNewObjectForEntityForName("List", inManagedObjectContext: matthewsManagedObjectContext)
let newItem = newManagedObject as! List
newItem.item = justBeastItTextField.text
do {
try matthewsManagedObjectContext.save()
print("It was successful!")
}
catch {
print("There was an error!")
}
let request = NSFetchRequest(entityName: "List")
do {
let response = try matthewsManagedObjectContext.executeFetchRequest(request)
print("Sucess!")
let arrayList = response as! [List]
for item in arrayList {
print(item.item)
}
}
catch {
print("Failed!")
}
}
#IBOutlet weak var justBeastItTextField: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
