I am using UICollectionView didSelectItemAt to update a UI label that I set up in my HomeController. So basically when I press the cell I want my text to be updated. However the text doesn't update, I have debugged though and the value changes. I have tried everything, both setNeedsDisplay() and running through main thread (which it already does)
I have quite a lot of code in these classes (I don't use storyboard) but this is the label setup (sits in HomeController):
import UIKit
import CoreData
class mainHomeController: UICollectionViewController, UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {
static let sharedInstance = HomeController()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
setupBasketBar()
}
let totNumber: UILabel = {
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "0"
label.numberOfLines = 2
return label
}()
func setupBasketBar() {
self.view.addSubview(totNumber)
totNumber.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
totNumber.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor,constant: 330).isActive = true
totNumber.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor).isActive = true
totNumber.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor,constant: 0).isActive = true
totNumber.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.heightAnchor,multiplier: 5).isActive = true
}
}
and this sits in the feed cell:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
HomeController.sharedInstance.totNumber.text = ("234")
HomeController.sharedInstance.totNumber.setNeedsDisplay()
}
I have edited out the relevant parts.
This is the whole code for the HomeController:

static let sharedInstance = HomeController()
