Subscription app - ios

Question

I am currently developing a subscription app.
I currently have 6 View Controllers to which have different options on.
For example - Name - Amount - Date etc.
Once the user completes these, I want it to create a new view controller with this information on it.
So once they go back onto the main screen, they will be able to swipe left and it will show their subscription.
All I want to know is, is there a way I can create a new view controller with their information on it once they press a complete button on the Date page?
Transferring data to a view controller is the easy part. I am more wondering on how I can create a new view controller when they try and add another Subscription, if that makes sense.
If not is there a way I can do this?

Answer 1

You have two options that I can think of. I am sure there are more, but these may help.
You could create a global instance of a struct that is your "subscription to add". You could then update the values for each property of this struct (e.g. name, amount, date, etc.) after each VC is dismissed
You can pass the data your user is generating to each VC through prepareForSegue. This is slightly redundant so I would recommend doing the first method. For the record, this segue method would look something like this:
VC 1 Dismissed: Pass Name to VC2
VC 2 Dismissed: Pass Name and Amount to VC3
VC 3 Dismissed: Pass Name, Amount, and Date to VC4 etc......
Once you have all of the information, you can show the last VC and just set the labels and such to the values of your struct, or the values you passed through the segue.
Edit: Further Information on Option 1
So if you made a struct like this:
struct UserToAdd {
static var name: String = String()
static var amount: Int = 0
static var date: Date = Date()
}
with all of the properties that you want a subscription to have, then you can store this information in this struct as you progress through each VC.
For example, if your first VC got the subscription name, then when your "prepareForSegue" function is called, as you are about to move to the second VC, then you could do something like this:
UserToAdd.name = "My Subscription Name"
Of course the string you assign to this name would depend on the data the user enters and such, but I hope it illustrates my point. It would be a similar process for each initial VC, but then once you have all of the data you need, you could just then call this data when your last VC loads, and set it to the text of a label or something like this:
var nameLabel = UILabel()
nameLabel.text = UserToAdd.name
self.view.addSubview(nameLabel);
Let me know if you have any further questions.
