Table empty when populating cells from json - json

Question

I am trying to populate a table with json content. Everything seems to work fine except that the table is not showing any data. Actually, the code shown below should display the "title" information of each json data array into one cell. See line
cell.textLabel?.text = myNewsItems[indexPath.row].title
However, from what I can see in the console output, I can verify that the news array is parsed like expected (see Checkpoint: print(myNewsS)).
Any idea what I am missing?
Swift4
import UIKit
// structure from json file
struct News: Codable{
let type: String
let timestamp: String
let title: String
let message: String
}
class HomeVC: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource{
var myTableView = UITableView()
var myNewsItems: [News] = []
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let barHeight: CGFloat = UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height
let displayWidth: CGFloat = self.view.frame.width
let displayHeight: CGFloat = self.view.frame.height
myTableView = UITableView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 150, width: displayWidth, height: displayHeight - barHeight))
myTableView.register(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")
myTableView.dataSource = self
myTableView.delegate = self
self.view.addSubview(myTableView)
// JSON
let url=URL(string:"https://api.myjson.com/bins/ywv0k")
let session = URLSession.shared
let task = session.dataTask(with: url!) { (data, response, error) in
// check status 200 OK etc.
guard let data = data else { return }
do {
let myNewsS = try
JSONDecoder().decode([News].self, from: data)
print(myNewsS)
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.myTableView.reloadData()
}
} catch let jsonErr {
print("Error json:", jsonErr)
}
}
task.resume()
}
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return myNewsItems.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath)
cell.textLabel?.text = myNewsItems[indexPath.row].title
return cell
}
}

Answer 1

Assign the array
myNewsItems = myNewsS
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.myTableView.reloadData()
}
