Type has no member error?

Have you defined these functions as static ?

static func loadSampleToDos() -> [ToDo] {

Yes I am following the example exactly. I have tried moving the code around but no luck. I had it working until some of the latest updates.

Can you post the complete file (including ToDo struct definition) ?

Can you post your code ?

I tried this successfully in playground (XCode 9.2ß)

struct ToDo {
    var title: String
    var isComplete: Bool
    var dueDate: Date
    var notes: String?

    static func loadToDos() -> [ToDo]?  {          // FUNC MUST BE INSIDE struct
        return nil
    }

   static func loadSampleToDos() -> [ToDo] {         // FUNC MUST BE INSIDE struct
        let todo1 = ToDo(title: "ToDo One", isComplete: false,
                         dueDate: Date(), notes: "Notes 1")
        let todo2 = ToDo(title: "ToDo Two", isComplete: false,
                         dueDate: Date(), notes: "Notes 2")
        let todo3 = ToDo(title: "ToDo Three", isComplete: false,
                         dueDate: Date(), notes: "Notes 3")
        return [todo1, todo2, todo3]
    }
}

var todos = [ToDo]()

if let savedToDos = ToDo.loadToDos() {     // THERE WAS A TYPO IN TUTORIAL: space missing after = sign
    todos = savedToDos
} else {
   todos = ToDo.loadSampleToDos()              // I changed this by adding todos = 
}
print(todos)

This is what I have so far. I tried the code Claude used in Playground in my app but it didn't work. I get a warning with this current code Result of call to 'loadSampleToDos()' is unused and a blank screen when I run it in the simulator. I really appreciate everyone's help.

In the ToDo File:

import UIKit

struct ToDo {

var title: String

var isComplete: Bool

var dueDate: Date

var notes: String?

static func loadToDos() -> [ToDo]? {

return nil

}

static func loadSampleToDos() -> [ToDo] {

let todo1 = ToDo(title: "ToDo One", isComplete: false,

dueDate: Date(), notes: "Notes 1")

let todo2 = ToDo(title: "ToDo Two", isComplete: false,

dueDate: Date(), notes: "Notes 2")

let todo3 = ToDo(title: "ToDo Three", isComplete: false,

dueDate: Date(), notes: "Notes 3")

return [todo1, todo2, todo3]

}

}

In the ToDoTableViewController:

import UIKit

class ToDoTableViewController: UITableViewController {

var todos = [ToDo]()

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()

if let savedToDos = ToDo.loadToDos() {

todos = savedToDos

} else {

ToDo.loadSampleToDos()

}

}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView,

numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

return todos.count

}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt

indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

guard let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier:

"ToDoCellIdentifier") else {

fatalError("Could not dequeue a cell")

}

let todo = todos[indexPath.row]

cell.textLabel?.text = todo.title

return cell

}

}

So now the code compiles ? Exact ?

The problem you have is the one I notcied in my post :

   todos = ToDo.loadSampleToDos()              // I changed this by adding todos = 

You have to use the result of the func somewhere !

So I store it in todos.

I feel stupid. I should have noticed that. I have done plenty of coding in the past but Swift is new to me. The code in the book left that off so I assumed it was correct. Thanks so much for the help Claude.

When it's obvious we often miss it.

Good luck and don't forget to close the thread.

Hello. I am still getting the same error message.

In the ToDoTableViewController:

import UIKit

class ToDoTableViewController: UITableViewController {

var todos = [ToDo]()

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()

if let savedToDos = ToDo.loadToDos() {

todos = savedToDos

} else {

ToDo.loadSampleToDos()

}

}

Please help with the error messge: Type "TODO' has no member "loadToDos'

Type "ToDo' has no member 'loadSampleToDos'
