how to reload a collectionview that is inside a tableviewcell

Question

I have a collectionView inside a tableViewCell

for example: credit: How to use StoryBoard quick build a collectionView inside UITableViewCell

I would like to reload the collectionView when I update information.

I have put a print in the collectionView's cellForItemAtIndexPath to test if it is being called but it isn't. How can I get the collectionView to reload?

Answer 1

I found out how! In my tableViewCell class I just need to link the collectionView as an outlet so in my tableViewCell's cellForRowAtIndexPath I just needed to call cell.collectionView.reloadData()
