I am trying to make it where when a user clicks on a table view cell in my table view it takes them to a new view controller. More specifically, when a user clicks on a persons username it should take them to that users profile. the username being the table view cell and the profile being the new view controller. I thought the way to do this was to use the ".presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) however when i do this it says "myCell does not have a member named .presentViewController"Below is a screenshot of the issue

If anyone could help me solve this problem it'd be greatly appreciated

The presentViewController:animated:completion is an instance method of the UIViewController not UIView or a subclass of. You can try this:

self.window?.rootViewController.presentViewController(specificViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

However, I suggest that you should use the presentViewController:animated:completion: method from UIViewController. A callback mechanism can be achieved between the UIViewController and the cell.

Like so:Get button click inside UI table view cell
