Show elements of an array in an NSTableView

Question

Assuming that I have this array of strings: var array = ["First", "Second", "Third"] I want to show each of the elements of this array in an NSTableView cell. I have created the function numberOfRowsInSection that returns the number of empty cells, but I can't figure out how to show the string elements.

Please read [Start Developing iOS Apps (Swift) : Create a Table View](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/CreateATableView.html) The principle in macOS is very similar. — vadian, Feb 27 '19 at 19:57
This is a pretty basic operation. Try to write the code yourself, then if you are having issues, post your question and we can try to help you. — Russ J, Feb 27 '19 at 20:01
All resources are for iOS development. I couldn't find the right to do it for NSTableViewCell for Mac OS. I'm just looking for the right function. — , Feb 27 '19 at 20:05

You can use

func tableView(_ tableView: NSTableView, objectValueFor tableColumn: NSTableColumn?, row: Int) -> Any? {
        return array[row]
    }
}

Thank you very much but it didn't work. I'm working on NSTableView for Mac not iOS. – Feb 27 '19 at 20:06

@Len_X This should answer your question – Suh Fangmbeng Feb 27 '19 at 20:23
Thank you @Len_X , when I build the app it's still showing Table View Cell though (Which is the title) – Feb 27 '19 at 21:36
