(Swift) Show TableViewController in a ViewController's Container view

Question

I am trying to get a tableview controller to display inside of a container view inside of a view controller. This is my storyboard set up:

These are my swift files:

Here is some code for my page view swiping:

  func getStepZero() -> ProfileViewController {
    return storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ProfileView") as! ProfileViewController
  }

  func getStepOne() -> HomeViewController {
    return storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("HomeView") as! HomeViewController
  }

  func getStepTwo() -> MatchesSegueViewController {
    return storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("MatchesSegueView") as! MatchesSegueViewController
  }

  func pageViewController(pageViewController: UIPageViewController, viewControllerBeforeViewController viewController: UIViewController) -> UIViewController? {

    if viewController.isKindOfClass(MatchesSegueViewController) {
      // 2 -> 1
      return getStepOne()
    } else if viewController.isKindOfClass(HomeViewController) {
      // 1 -> 0
      return getStepZero()
    } else {
      // 0 -> end of the road
      return nil
    }
  }

  func pageViewController(pageViewController: UIPageViewController, viewControllerAfterViewController viewController: UIViewController) -> UIViewController? {

    if viewController.isKindOfClass(ProfileViewController) {
      // 0 -> 1
      return getStepOne()
    } else if viewController.isKindOfClass(HomeViewController) {
      // 1 -> 2
      return getStepTwo()
    } else {
      // 2 -> end of the road
      return nil
    }
  }

tableview code:

class MatchTableViewController: UITableViewController {

  let cellId = "cellId"

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations
    // self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = false

    // Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
    // self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem()
}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

// MARK: - Table view data source

override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
    return 0
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    // #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
    return 5
}


override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    // line below comes with function
    //let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("reuseIdentifier", forIndexPath: indexPath)

    // Configure the cell...
    // lines below are from YouTube tutorial
  let cell = UITableViewCell(style: .Subtitle, reuseIdentifier: cellId)
  cell.textLabel?.text = "DUMMY TEXT"

    return cell
}

I have a page view controller so when I swipe right I go to my view controller which should immediately segue to my table view controller (hopefully the segue won't be seen) via an embed segue. How can I accomplish this? When I swipe right it shows me an empty table view even though it should show some dummy data cells.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

From your code,

Change this section of your tableViewController

 override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
      return 0
 }

To this

 override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
      return 1
 }
