Get navigation bar title from selected row - uitableview

Question

I created a table view where the user is able to add rows by clicking an "add" button in navigation bar. When the user selects a row the app shows another table view. I want to set the title of the navigation bar to the name of the selected row.
I know how to set the title of the navigation bar if I pass the name to label in the second table view.
title = self.restaurant.name
But I haven't figured out how to pass it to the navigation bar without creating a extra label.

It's actually really easy. All you have to do is implement prepareForSegue and use sender to create an instance of UITableViewCell. From there you can easily get the title of that cell and using segue.destinationViewController you can set the nav bar title of the subsequent view controller.
import Foundation
import UIKit
class TableViewController: UITableViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return 10
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CellID", forIndexPath: indexPath) as UITableViewCell
cell.textLabel?.text = "Cell at row \(indexPath.row)"
return cell
}
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
let destinationVC = segue.destinationViewController as UIViewController
let cell = sender as UITableViewCell
destinationVC.navigationItem.title = cell.textLabel?.text
}
}
