Implementing SWRevealViewConroller Library (slide out menu) in multiple storyboards - ios

Question

I am trying to implement SWRevealViewController Library as given in VideoTutorial, I was successfully able to do that but I don't want everything on 1 storyboard, I want to break it down in 2 storyboards
AppDelegate Code:
func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MenuDrawer", bundle: nil)
initialViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SWRevealViewController") as! UIViewController
self.window?.rootViewController = initialViewController
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}
Rightnow MenuDrawer storyboard has everything
SWRevealViewCOntroller
TableViewController
NavigationController
RootViewController
and below segues which are defined in Library:
segue1 (sw_rear) : between SWRevealViewController --> TableViewController
segue2 (sw_front) : between SWRevealViewController
--> NavigationController
now I want 3 and 4 in different storyboard. but when I move 3 and 4 to different storyboard how do I create segue 2 across storyboards

Answer 1

I am not really sure if I understand your problem but you can try this to retrive your second storyboard and load your navigationViewController from there.
let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "SecondStoryBoard", bundle:nil)
let deleteViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SecondNavigationController") as UINavigationController

Answer 2

as far as iknow, you don't need to push again the segue 2 on 3 and 4. what you need is refer the new view (3 and 4) on the segue 2. in Obj-c will be like that:
UIStoryboard *mainStoryboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:#"Main" bundle:nil];
SWRevealViewController *view = [mainStoryboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:identifier];
[view setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:view animated:YES];
where "self" is the ViewController where segue 2 has been created.
i hope have answered your question.

Try This First Of All Make the other storyboard and add what you need then call the other storyboard in
AppDelegate Code:
func application(application: UIApplication,didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
var storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MenuDrawer", bundle: nil)
var storyboard1 = UIStoryboard(name: "NewStoryBoardName", bundle: nil)
var initialViewController = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SWRevealViewController") as! UIViewController
var initialViewController1 = storyboard1.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("SWRevealViewController") as! UIViewController
self.window?.rootViewController = [initialViewController,initialViewController1]
self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
return true
}

You can not create segues between storyboards using Interface Builder.
It is only possible programmatically, example:
let storyBoardTwo = UIStoryboard(name: "storyBoardTwo", bundle: nil)
// Pick a view controller using it's identifier string set in Interface Builder.
let myVC = storyBoardTwo.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("aViewController") as! UIViewController // Or use more specific (custom) type
// Push it to the navigation controller
self.navigationController.pushViewController(myVC, animated: true)
pushViewControllerwill simply put the myVC on top. This code is what a segue will end up doing. You can put this code anywhere in an existing ViewController, on a button tap IBAction or where ever needed.
If the pushed ViewController have any segues (from Storyboard or code) they will still work, as expected.
This of course works if you would want to programmatically load ViewController from one and the same Storyboard as well.
