How to use a SwiftUI view in place of table view cell

Thanks for answering your own question here. Your solution helped me make a generic HostingTableViewCell class. I’ll post it here if anyone finds this question on Google like I did.

import SwiftUI

class HostingTableViewCell<Content: View>: UITableViewCell {

    private weak var controller: UIHostingController<Content>?

    func host(_ view: Content, parent: UIViewController) {
        if let controller = controller {
            controller.rootView = view
            controller.view.layoutIfNeeded()
        } else {
            let swiftUICellViewController = UIHostingController(rootView: view)
            controller = swiftUICellViewController
            swiftUICellViewController.view.backgroundColor = .clear
            
            layoutIfNeeded()
            
            parent.addChild(swiftUICellViewController)
            contentView.addSubview(swiftUICellViewController.view)
            swiftUICellViewController.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
            contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: swiftUICellViewController.view!, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.leading, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.leading, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0.0))
            contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: swiftUICellViewController.view!, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.trailing, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.trailing, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0.0))
            contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: swiftUICellViewController.view!, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.top, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.top, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0.0))
            contentView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: swiftUICellViewController.view!, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.bottom, relatedBy: NSLayoutConstraint.Relation.equal, toItem: contentView, attribute: NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.bottom, multiplier: 1.0, constant: 0.0))
        
            swiftUICellViewController.didMove(toParent: parent)
            swiftUICellViewController.view.layoutIfNeeded()
        }
    }
}

In your UITableViewController:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    tableView.register(HostingTableViewCell<Text>.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "textCell")
}

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "textCell") as! HostingTableViewCell<Text>
    cell.host(Text("Yay!"), parent: self)
    return cell
}

Might turn this into a package if people seem to use it.
