What’s the “cleaner” way to pass data between UIViewControllers - ios

Question

I gotta populate a UIViewController using data from a UITableView. So, when the user click on each UITableview Cell, another screen should appear filled with some data from the respective clicked UITableView Cell. I don't have certain if I should do it using "Segue" to the other screen, or if there's any better and "clean" way to do that. What would you guys recommend me to do?
Storyboard:

import UIKit

#IBOutlet weak var ImageView: UIImageView!
#IBOutlet weak var labelNomeEDesc: UILabel!

Answer 1

// In a storyboard-based application, you will often want to do a little preparation before navigation
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {
// Get the new view controller using segue.destinationViewController.
// Pass the selected object to the new view controller.
switch segue.destination{
case is DestinationViewController:
let vc = segue.destination as! DestinationViewController
//Share your data to DestinationViewController
//Like vc.variableName = value
default:
break
}
}

Answer 2

Make sure that the data your sharing is going to an actual variable like var artistToDisplay: String? in the DestinationViewController, and not an IBOutlet.
You may also need to implement the tableView(_:didSelectRowAt:_) and performSegue(withIdentifier:sender:) methods to begin the segue.
