delegate modal view swift - ios

Question

I have tried the other methods for delegation and protocols for passing data between modal views and the parent view button they aren't working for me. This is obviously because I am implementing them wrong.
What I have is a parent view controller which has a tableviewcell which in the right detail will tell you your selection from the modal view. The modal view is another table view which allows you to select a cell, which updates the right detail and dismisses the modal view. All is working except the actual data transfer.
Thanks in advance!! :)
Here is my code for the parent view controller:
class TableViewController: UITableViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
//Properties
var delegate: transferData?
//Outlets
#IBOutlet var productLabel: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var rightDetail: UILabel!
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
println(delegate?.productCarrier)
println(delegate?.priceCarrier)
if delegate?.productCarrier != "" {
rightDetail.text = delegate?.productCarrier
productLabel.text = delegate?.productCarrier
}
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of sections.
return 5
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return 1
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
tableView.deselectRowAtIndexPath(indexPath, animated: true)
}
}
The code for the model view controller and protocol is:
protocol transferData {
var priceCarrier: Double { get set }
var productCarrier: String { get set }
}
class ProductsDetailsViewController: UITableViewController, transferData {
//Properties
var priceCarrier = 00.00
var productCarrier = ""
//Outlets
//Actions
#IBAction func unwindToViewController(segue: UIStoryboardSegue) {
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
populateDefaultCategories()
// Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations
// self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = false
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
// self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Potentially incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of sections.
return Int(Category.allObjects().count)
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return (Category.allObjects()[UInt(section)] as Category).name
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete method implementation.
// Return the number of rows in the section.
return Int(objectsForSection(section).count)
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
var cell:ProductListCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("productCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as ProductListCell
let queriedProductResult = objectForProductFromSection(indexPath.section, indexPath.row)
cell.name.text = queriedProductResult.name
cell.prices.text = "$\(queriedProductResult.price)"
return cell
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow()!
let product = objectForProductFromSection(indexPath.section, indexPath.row)
let PVC: TableViewController = TableViewController()
println("didSelect")
productCarrier = product.name
priceCarrier = product.price
println(productCarrier)
println(priceCarrier)
self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)
}

I think for passing data, you should use segue like:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow()!
let product = objectForProductFromSection(indexPath.section, indexPath.row)
println("didSelect")
productCarrier = product.name
priceCarrier = product.price
println(productCarrier)
println(priceCarrier)
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("displayYourTableViewControllerSegue", sender: self)
}
and then override the prepareForSegue function:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
var controller = segue.destinationViewController as TableViewController
controller.rightDetail.text = "\(self.priceCarrier)"
controller.productLabel.text = self.productCarrier
}
