init(jobType: [String], jobRole: String) {
    self.jobType = jobType
    self.jobRole = jobRole

    self.jobRole = jobRole

    super.viewDidLoad()
}

CodePudding user response：

That's not how it should be done.

Instead, create a model which could be initialized with a job type and roles, or with a job role and types, a model for the UITableView. That way, you don't need to care about if it's job type & roles or the other one. You populate the model only. And let the tableview manage its own data. It doesn't need to know what's inside.

struct FilterTableViewModel {

    let title: String
    let elements: [String]

    init(jobType: String, roles: [String]) {
        title = jobType
        elements = roles
    }

    init(jobRole: String, types: [String]) {
        title = jobRole
        elements = types
    }
}

And:

class FilterViewController: UIViewController {
    var filterData: [FilterTableViewModel] = []
}
