iOS storyboard passing data navigationViewController

Question

I have problem with proper passing data between view's but not in standard way.

Picture describing my problem:

I performSegueWithIdentifier with one of two segue identifiers and then in I want to pass data to ViewController called "Firmy" or "Oddzialy".

Passing data code:

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
  if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"sLogowanieFirmy"]) {
      FirmyVC *firmyVC = [segue destinationViewController];
      firmyVC.tabFirmy = self.tabFirmy;
  }
  if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"sLogowanieOddzialy"]) {
      OddzialyVC *oddzialyVC = [segue destinationViewController];
      oddzialyVC.wybranaFirma = [self.tabFirmy objectAtIndex:0];
  }
}

Problem is with method [segue destinationViewController] becouse destinationViewController for segue is NavigationViewController.

So what is proper way to pass data and have independent Navigation Controllers?

Answer 1

UINavigationController has a property called topViewController which returns the view controller that is at the top of the stack.

So your prepareForSegue: method may look something like this...

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:@"sLogowanieFirmy"]) {
        UINavigationController *nav = [segue destinationViewController];
        FirmyVC *firmyVC = (FirmyVC *)nav.topViewController;
        firmyVC.tabFirmy = self.tabFirmy;
    }

    // etc...
}
