Creating component of UICollectionView/UICollectionViewController by using Xib and Implement it in UIViewController

Question

I'm trying to develop a component of UICollectionView or UICollectionViewController which I can use multiple time in my current project and also can be used anywhere by simply copy-pasting whole folder.

Requirements: - Create an Xib of either UICollectionView or UICollectionViewController (which one is easier). - Embed that CollectionView xib in my UIViewController, In my that UIViewController there are some graphs and also some pics that I've to show(collection view is for that). - Basically I want to send a JSON file and some parameter if needed to that component and make the collection view running within that View controller.

I'm facing a lot of problems embedding both of UICollectionView and UICollectionViewController so what should be the best way and proper approach to do it?

Could you explain what you have tried so far so we could find out what is going wrong ? — Marwen Doukh

You could use a container view to embed a view controller inside another view controller.

This is from Apple documentation:

Container view controllers are a way to combine the content from multiple view controllers into a single user interface
