How to accès iboutlet from another class in swift

so I want to change the button colour from view controller but the problem is my button referencing to my collection view class. I dunno how to call the button from another class

collection view

class CollectionViewCell: UICollectionViewCell {

@IBOutlet weak var menusButton: UIButton!

public func MenuButtonFunction (){
menusButton.backgroundColor = #colorLiteral(red: 1.0, green: 1.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)
}

Viewcontroller

var menuButtonFunc = CollectionViewCell()
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
menuButtonFunc.MenuButtonFunction()

     doneButton.layer.cornerRadius = 10

}

You should not instantiate your cell with constructor call - it will not create child items and that is the reason why you have nil reference on your button. You should call dequeueReusableCell UICollectionView method to obtain fully created cell.

My first instinct would be to use delegation or the observer pattern.

I can't say much more without knowing more detail of your code (i.e. if it really is simple, view-hierarchy-wise, then Joakim Danielson's comment of just using a public function is probably your best solution).
