Adding an array of images to a collection view - swift

I'm writing a program that takes pictures and displays them in a collection view.

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    return myImages.count
}

Function below is cellForItemAt this is where the error occurs on the cell.imageView.image = image line.

The error given is:

Value of type 'UICollectionViewCell' has no member 'imageView'

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell", for: indexPath) as UICollectionViewCell
    let image = myImages[indexPath.row]
    cell.imageView.image = image
    return cell
}

My class declaration for the collectionCell is below. It's connected to the collectionView via the storyboard etc so I'm unsure why the error occurs.

class collectionCell: UICollectionViewCell { 
    @IBOutlet weak var imageView: UIImageView!
}

write class name instead of UICollectionCell

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
       let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell", for: indexPath) as! collectionCell
       let image = myImages[indexPath.row]
       cell.imageView.image = image
       return cell
   }

You need to cast your UICollectionViewCell to your own type of cell (collectionCell):

  func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
       let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "collectionCell", for: indexPath) as! collectionCell
       let image = myImages[indexPath.row]
       cell.imageView.image = image
       return cell
   }

The wrong part:

... as UICollectionViewCell

should be:

... as! collectionCell
