Pass value from controller to controller - ios

Question

I'm building my first iOS app to try and learn iOS coding. However, I need to pass a value xAuthToken from one controller to the other. I can't seem to get it working to. I init the value in the first controller ViewController, but then I need it in SettingsController. I keep getting errors and the one it throws now is: Property 'ViewController' not found on object of type 'ViewController'
What am I doing wrong?
ViewController.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "SettingsController.h"
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate>
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *txtUsername;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *txtPassword;
- (IBAction)sigininClicked:(id)sender;
- (IBAction)backgroundTap:(id)sender;
#end
ViewController.m
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#property (nonatomic) NSString *xAuthToken;
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (IBAction)sigininClicked:(id)sender {
NSString *xAuthToken = #"0";
self.viewController = [[SettingsController alloc] init];
self.viewController.xAuthToken = xAuthToken;
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"login_success" sender:self];
}
SettingsController.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface SettingsController : UIViewController
#end
SettingsController.m
#interface SettingsController ()
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *myTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISwitch *mySwitch;
#end
#implementation SettingsController
//THIS IS WHERE I NEED XAUTHTOKEN

Answer 1

If you have a segue that presents your SettingsController, pass the information it needs in prepareForSegue. Don't create a new local SettingsController.

Answer 2

You can do something like
viewController = [self.storyboard instantiateviewcontrollerwithidentifier:#"your vc name"];
viewController.Xauthtoken = data;
// Do something else with this.
Or another way ( I don't know if it's good or bad, use it while your vc is already active ):
Use NSNotificationCenter and pass values between it.
Third way is create delegate for first Viewcontroller.

Try this in your ViewController.m:
#import "ViewController.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#property (nonatomic) NSString *xAuthToken;
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (IBAction)sigininClicked:(id)sender {
xAuthToken = #"Your Value Here";
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"login_success" sender:self];
}
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender {
if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"login_success"]) {
SettingsController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
destViewController.xAuthToken = xAuthToken;
}
}
And in your SettingsController.h
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#interface SettingsController : UIViewController
#property (nonatomic,strong) NSString *xAuthToken;
#end
SettingsController.m
#interface SettingsController ()
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *myTextField;
#property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UISwitch *mySwitch;
#end
#implementation SettingsController
-(void)viewDidLoad{
NSLog("%#",xAuthToken);
}
