Transition with Hero not working - ios

Question

I'm using the Hero library to do a transition between view controllers.
First view controller:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!
var people = [Person]()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
hero.isEnabled = true
hero.modalAnimationType = .push(direction: .right)
}
#IBAction func handleButton(){
let view = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "secondVC") as! UIViewController
present(view, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}
Second view controller:
class Second: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
hero.isEnabled = true
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
#IBAction func handleBackButton(){
hero.modalAnimationType = .push(direction: .left)
hero.dismissViewController()
}
}
It presents the new view without any animation. When I dismiss the second controller, it will apply the correct animation. How do I present the second view with an animation?

Answer 1

Okay found the solution.
In the first case where I have:
#IBAction func handleButton() {
let view = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "secondVC") as! UIViewController
present(view, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
I have to set the animation there on the view.
#IBAction func handleButton() {
let view = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "secondVC") as! UIViewController
view.hero.modalAnimationType = .push(direction: .right)
present(view, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
works

Answer 2

Set the modal animation type by setting the Hero extension heroModalAnimationType:
hero.heroModalAnimationType = .push(direction: .right)
Don't forget to disable the default animation for the transition using the Hero.shared object's methods :
func disableDefaultAnimationForNextTransition()
func setDefaultAnimationForNextTransition(_ animation: HeroDefaultAnimationType)
