Segue to UITableView depending on Row Selection - ios

Question

I have a UITableView which contains an array of 3 items. Upon user selection, I need each of these three items to segue to a different UITableView. For example:
First Scene is the table which contains the list: Weather, Intelligence, Fuels Status
Second scene would be:
For when a user selects weather, segue to a table which contains the array "daily maps, fire potential, etc."
For when a user selects intelligence, segue to a table which contains the array "current active fires, new initial attacks, etc."
and so forth.
I have been told I could use different UITableViewCells for each prototype cell but I'm sure there is an easier way that I am simply not grasping. All current segues were done in storyboard. Could someone please elaborate on how I should be segueing from scene to scene (at a beginner-intermediate level of understanding)?

Answer 1

You can segue to a single UITableViewController here and make it display respective contents according to the category chosen. This might help you.
In your Destination View Controller, you can declare a variable and use it in your prepareForSegue method as shown to identify what type of content do you want to see on your destination view controller.
destController.varName = #"setYourTypeHere";
Now you can also set the variable value here based on the Row you are clicking in your tableview.
And in your Destination View controller, you can check this value using switch or if...else cases and bind the appropriate data as per your requirement.

Answer 2

In storyboard you wire up each destination not to the prototype tableview cell, but to the view controller itself (little yellow box on left side of the title bar of the view controller in the storyboard).
Name each segue with a meaningful name, and then in your "didSelect" delegate method you can perform a segue using:
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"myNamedSegue" sender:self];
