Connecting an .xib-File to a Custom Class

Question

I have created a custom .xib-file and a custom subclass of UIView. What is the procedure to connect the two?

Meaning that when I set MyCustomClass in the custom class attribute, it turns into my custom .xib-file and acts according to MyCustomClass.swift.

just add the class name (StoryBoard inspector) in XIB as your UIView subclass name. — Gagan_iOS, Jun 05 '17 at 08:05

While googling I have found many tutorials that say you need to add code to MyCustomClass.swift in order to load from the .xib. Are they all outdated? – Marmelador Jun 05 '17 at 08:22

Excuse me. For example here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25513271/how-to-initialise-a-uiview-class-with-a-xib-file-in-swift-ios or https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9251202/how-do-i-create-a-custom-ios-view-class-and-instantiate-multiple-copies-of-it-i – Marmelador Jun 05 '17 at 08:31
you need to write this in your class. because so far what you did my way is to added the class file with the nib file.But how will you access it from another View contoller? Thats the code you shared. – elk_cloner Jun 05 '17 at 08:36

Select Whatever.xib >> Click Show Identity Inspector >> Focus at Custom Class >> Edit Class as MyCustomClass See this example for Test.xib and Test.swift :
