Adding two UIView vertically


I have two UIView and I want to add detailsView as subview with other view. I am getting following error:

Cannot convert value of type 'MovieDetailsDisplayViewController.detailsView.Type' to expected argument type 'MovieDetailsDisplayViewController.View'

View model code ..

enum MoviesDetailsViewModelState {
    case loading(Movie)
    case loaded(MovieDetails)
    case pageLoaded(Page<Movie>)
    case error

    var title: String? {
        switch self {
        case .loaded(let movie):
            return movie.title
        case .loading(let movie):
            return movie.title
        case .error:
            return nil
        case .pageLoaded:
            return nil
        }
    }

    var movie: MovieDetails? {
        switch self {
        case .loaded(let movie):
            return movie
        case .loading, .error:
            return nil
        case .pageLoaded:
            return nil
        }
    }
    
    var page: Page<Movie>? {
        
        switch self {
        case .loading, .error, .loaded:
            return nil
        case .pageLoaded(let page):
          return page
        }
    }
}

final class MoviesDetailsViewModel {

    private let apiManager: APIManaging
    private let initialMovie: Movie
    var moviePage = [Movie]()

    init(movie: Movie, apiManager: APIManaging = APIManager()) {
        self.initialMovie = movie
        self.apiManager = apiManager
        self.state = .loading(movie)
    }

    var updatedState: (() -> Void)?

    var state: MoviesDetailsViewModelState {
        didSet {
            updatedState?()
        }
    }

    func fetchData() {
        apiManager.execute(MovieDetails.details(for: initialMovie)) { [weak self] result in
            guard let self = self else { return }
            switch result {
            case .success(let movieDetails):
                self.state = .loaded(movieDetails)
            case .failure:
                self.state = .error
            }
        }
    }
    
    func fetchSimilarMovie() {
        apiManager.execute(Movie.similiar(for: initialMovie.id)) { [weak self]  result in
            guard let self = self else { return }
            switch result {
            case.success(let page):
                self.state = .pageLoaded(page)
                self.moviePage = page.results
                print(moviePage)
            case .failure(let error):
                self.state = .error
                print(error)
            }
        }
    }
}

Here is the code for both views:

    }
    
    override func loadView() {
        view = ParentView()
        view = DetailsView(coder: <#NSCoder#>)
    }
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        (view as? ParentView)?.configure(movieDetails: movieDetails)
        view.addSubview(DetailsView)

    }

Solution

  • You report this error:

    Cannot convert value of type 'MovieDetailsDisplayViewController.detailsView.Type' to expected argument type 'MovieDetailsDisplayViewController.View'

    That is a result of the line that says:

    view.addSubview(DetailsView)
    

    DetailsView is the name of a type. But you need to set it to be an instance of the UIView type:

    let movie = …
    let viewModel = MoviesDetailsViewModel(movie: movie)
    let detailsView = DetailsView(viewModel: viewModel)
    view.addSubview(detailsView)
    

    You have not shared where this Movie parameter of the MoviesDetailsViewModel comes from. Perhaps the movieDetails property?
