How to send object from one to another view? - ios

Question

I have implemented SASlideMenu for side menu and is excellent everything except one thing. I don't know how to send object.
Here is switching view happening:
-(void) switchToContentViewController:(UIViewController*) content{
CGRect bounds = self.view.bounds;
if (selectedContent) {
//Animate out the currently selected UIViewController
[UIView animateWithDuration:kSlideOutInterval delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
selectedContent.view.frame = CGRectMake(bounds.size.width,0,bounds.size.width,bounds.size.height);
} completion:
^(BOOL completed) {
[selectedContent willMoveToParentViewController:nil];
[selectedContent.view removeFromSuperview];
[selectedContent removeFromParentViewController];
content.view.frame = CGRectMake(bounds.size.width,0,0,bounds.size.height);
[self addChildViewController:content];
[self.view addSubview:content.view];
[UIView animateWithDuration:kSlideInInterval delay:0.0 options:UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut animations:^{
content.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,bounds.size.width,bounds.size.height);
} completion:^(BOOL completed){
selectedContent = content;
[content didMoveToParentViewController:self];
[self.shield removeFromSuperview];
}];
}];
}else{
[self addChildViewController:content];
[self.view addSubview:content.view];
content.view.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,bounds.size.width,bounds.size.height);
selectedContent = content;
[self.shield removeFromSuperview];
[content didMoveToParentViewController:self];
}
}
and what I want is here to get identifier (NSString) (that I will know how to solve) and then send to this new view controller which will be open.
How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can use a subclass of UIViewController instead of the stock UIViewController class for your "content" view controller. On this subclass, you can add a
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *stringForContentView;
Then, just above the line where you add the "content" view controller as a child of your current view controller,
content.stringForContentView = #"A string that you already have";
