With SegueManager it's easy to programatically perform segues and update the destination view controller. The following example demonstrates how to perform a segue and set a view model:

segueManager.performSegue(withIdentifier: "showDetails") { (details: DetailsViewController) in
  details.viewModel = DetailsViewModel("This is the details view model")
}

See the full iOS example, or read below for usage instructions.

Typed segues with R.swift

A major design goal of SegueManager 2.0 is to allow completely statically typed segues using R.swift.

With R.swift the above example becomes:

self.performSegue(withIdentifier: R.segue.masterViewController.showDetails) { segue in
  segue.destination.viewModel = DetailsViewModel("This is the details view model")
}

Here the segue parameter is of type: TypedStoryboardSegueInfo<UIStoryboardSegue, MasterViewController, DetailViewController>, which means the .destination field is of the correct type.

To use R.swift together with SegueManager, include this subspec to your Podfile:

pod 'SegueManager/R.swift'

Installation

CocoaPods

SegueManager is available for both iOS and OS X. Using CocoaPods, SegueManager can be integrated into your Xcode project by specifying it in your Podfile:

pod 'SegueManager'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Usage

There are two methods of using SegueManager:

1. Inherit from one of the base types: SegueManagerViewController, SegueManagerTableViewController, SegueManagerCollectionViewController, etc.

2. Or, if you don't want to rely on inheritance (often problematic), create a SegueManager yourself:

3. On your ViewController, create a SegueManager, instantiated with self.

4. Implement the SeguePerformer protocol

5. Override prepare(for:) and call SegueManager.

import SegueManager

class MasterViewController: UIViewController, SeguePerformer {

  lazy var segueManager: SegueManager = {
    // SegueManager based on the current view controller
    return SegueManager(viewController: self)
  }()

  override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    segueManager.prepare(for: segue)
  }
}

After this setup, simply call performSegue on self and pass it a handler.

With SegueManager only

Call performSegue(withIdentifier) with a string identifier and pass a handler. Make sure you specify the type of the destination ViewController, since that can not be inferred:

self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "showDetails") { (details: DetailsViewController) in
  details.viewModel = DetailsViewModel("This is the details view model")
}

With SegueManager + R.swift

Call performSegue(withIdentifier) with a segue identifier from R.segue.* and pass a handler.

self.performSegue(withIdentifier: R.segue.masterViewController.showDetails) { segue in
  segue.destination.viewModel = DetailsViewModel("This is the details view model")
}

The handler will be called after the destination view controller has been instantiated, but before its view has been loaded or any animations start.
