Why is data not passed through my segue in my code? - ios

Question

I want to pass data via segue to the destination ViewController as a UICollectionViewCell is pressed using a protocol cellWasPressed().
The UICollectionView is embedded in a UITableViewCell hence making it the delegate for the collection view.
I have tried the following code to get it to do the task but unfortunately the event data is not being passed via the segue hence the destinantion ViewController is empty.
Here is the delegate code found in the UITableViewCell:
func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
selectedIndex = indexPath
selectedIndex2 = self.indexPath
print(selectedIndex)
print(selectedIndex2)
delegate?.cellWasPressed()
}
protocol CellDelegate {
func cellWasPressed()
}
extension UIResponder {
func next<T: UIResponder>(_ type: T.Type) -> T? {
return next as? T ?? next?.next(type)
}
}
extension UITableViewCell {
var TableView: UITableView? {
return next(UITableView.self)
}
var indexPath: IndexPath? {
return TableView?.indexPath(for: self)
}
}
& here is the code to prepare for the segue in the BrowseViewController:
func cellWasPressed() {
if let index = selectedIndex{
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "ViewEventDetails", sender: index)
}
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
if(segue.identifier == "ViewEventDetails") {
let destination = segue.destination as? EventDetailViewController
if let index = sender as? IndexPath {
if let index2 = selectedIndex2 {
let cell = EventTable.cellForRow(at: index2) as! PopularCell
let events = groupedEventArray[index2.row].1
let eventToPass = events[index.row]
destination?.navigationItem.title = eventToPass.event_name
}
}
}
}
I wish to fix this code in other for it to pass the event data to the destination ViewController via the segue.
