There's another great way to init custom view programmatically. You need to make the following:

1. Write extension for your UIView class

 extension UIView {
     class func initFromNib<T: UIView>() -> T {
     return Bundle.main.loadNibNamed(String(describing: self), owner: nil, options: nil)?[0] as! T
     }
 }

2. Create .swift and .xib files with the same name as your Class' name:

enter image description here

3. Inside your FMTextInputView.swift file you should init your nib:

    private var param1: String!
    private var param2: String!

    //MARK: - init
    static func instantiate(param1: String, param2: String) -> FMTextInputView {
        let view: FMTextInputView = initFromNib()
        view.param1 = param1
        view.param2 = param2
        return view
    }

4. Now you can use your custom view easily wherever you want:

   let inputView = FMTextInputView.instantiate(param1: "Hello", param2: "world")
   self.view.addSubview(inputView)
