I have the following class:
class ReportView: NSView {
var categoriesPerPage = [[Int]]()
var numPages: Int = { return categoriesPerPage.count }
}
Compilation fails with the message:
Instance member 'categoriesPerPage' cannot be used on type 'ReportView'
What does this mean?
Sometimes Xcode when overrides methods adds class func
instead of just func
. Then in static method you can't see instance properties. It is very easy to overlook it. That was my case.
You just have syntax error when saying = {return self.someValue}
. The =
isn't needed.
Use :
var numPages: Int {
get{
return categoriesPerPage.count
}
}
if you want get only you can write
var numPages: Int {
return categoriesPerPage.count
}
with the first way you can also add observers as set
willSet
& didSet
var numPages: Int {
get{
return categoriesPerPage.count
}
set(v){
self.categoriesPerPage = v
}
}
allowing to use = operator
as a setter
myObject.numPages = 5
