How to add delete button to collection cell in Swift?

Question

I now have a list of scrollable usernames using the View Collection buttons. But I'd like to add overlapping delete buttons to each line. They should be attached to the name buttons and scroll through them.

How to add these buttons to my CollectionView? (I would also like to skip the delete button on the first line for obvious reasons)

Current Code:

  //Add the cells to collection
  func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
    let cell: UsernameCollectionViewCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UsernameCollectionViewCell
    cell.usernameLabel.text = userNames [indexPath.row]
    return cell
  }

  //Upon Selecting an item
  func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {

    if (indexPath.row == 0){
      self.performSegueWithIdentifier("newUserSegue", sender: self)
    }
    else {
      sendData(userNames[indexPath.row])
      self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
    }

  }

It worked! Here's how:

• I added a button to the cell in the storyboard.
• The output is connected to the UICollectionViewCell class.

• Edited view controller code:

  func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
  
    let cell: UsernameCollectionViewCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("Cell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! UsernameCollectionViewCell
  
    cell.usernameLabel.text = userNames [indexPath.row]
  
    cell.deleteButton?.layer.setValue(indexPath.row, forKey: "index")
    cell.deleteButton?.addTarget(self, action: "deleteUser:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
  
    // Remove the button from the first cell
    if (indexPath.row == 0){
      var close : UIButton = cell.viewWithTag(11) as! UIButton
      close.hidden = true
    }
  
    return cell
  }
  
  func deleteUser(sender:UIButton) {
  
    let i : Int = (sender.layer.valueForKey("index")) as! Int
    userNames.removeAtIndex(i)
    UserSelectCollection.reloadData()
  }
