Switch Between Storyboards Using Swift

Question

I have a storyboard that is getting too large in my Xcode project and slowing down my computer. How do I programmatically (or manually using storyboarding) go from one of my views in the current storyboard using a button to advance to a view on the new storyboard?

Semi-new with Xcode so the simpler the better. Thanks!

Solution 1

You can do it programatically this way:

Swift 3+

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "StoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ViewControllerID") as UIViewController
present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)

Older

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "myStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("nextViewController") as UIViewController
presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil) 

In Sort you can do it like:

presentViewController( UIStoryboard(name: "myStoryboardName", bundle: nil).instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("nextViewController") as UIViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)

And don't forget to give ID to your nextViewController.

Using Interface Builder

1. Add a Storyboard Reference to the source storyboard
   
2. Control-Drag from the UIButton to that Storyboard Reference
   
3. In the Attributes inspector of the Storyboard Reference placeholder, specify the destination Storyboard and optionally the destination Reference ID of the target UIViewController and Bundle.
