Initializing with Dynamic Data

[ghost]

When using super.init(...) to initialize a MacawView, it begins to create the node, etc. Using static data, this is fine. But is there a way to delay the instantiation when I need to wait for variables to finish assigning? (i.e. from a Firestore query)

Hi Roy,

You can just initialize it with an empty node (Group()) and when you will be ready assign the correct value:

view.node = ...

view.node? Where is the Node collection for the class found?

I have class MacawChartView: MacawView

And there is no .node exposed

Here is MacawView.node. Probably you're doing something wrong if you can't access it.
