Adds functionality to using storyboards where we can dynamically or statically link to other Storyboards using segues. Basically, it allows you to link storyboards together in the storyboard itself.

Installation:

Download the code and copy the files / subdirectories within StoryboardLink to your project.

Usage:

1.) In main.c, #import "UIStoryboard+Segue.h" and in the main function, activate the storyboard linking as follows:

#import "UIStoryboard+Segue.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        [UIStoryboardSegue link];
        return UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, NSStringFromClass([AppDelegate class]));
    }
}

Static Storyboard Linking - used when we want to call another storyboard that is known BEFORE runtime. Segue must have an identifier that matches the regex pattern: StaticSL-StoryboardName or StaticSL-StoryboardName-SceneIdentifier.

In the storyboard where you will transition to another storyboard, create the segue type you want to an empty view controller, click on the segue, and set its identifier StaticSL-StoryboardName or StaticSL-StoryboardName-SceneIdentifier. The first will activate the initialViewController in the storyboard StoryboardName, and the latter will activate the viewController identified by SceneIdentifier in the storyboard StoryboardName.

Nothing needs to be done in code.

Dynamic Storyboard Linking - used when we want to call another storyboard that is known AFTER runtime If you want to segue to another storyboard, but the storyboard won't be known till runtime, then use this Segue must have an identifier that matches the regex pattern: DynamicSL In the code base, before the segue is called, set the StoryboardName and SceneIdentifier using the class setters and these targets will be invoked when the segue is invoked.

e.g.

In the storyboard where you will transition to another storyboard, create the segue type you want to an empty view controller, click on the segue, and set its identifier DynamicSL. You can prefix/suffix this with any sttring you want as a personal identification of what this storyboard segue will do, but the additional information is not necessary or used by the segue link.

In code where you want to fire the segue: [UIStoryboardSegue setStoryboardName:StoryboardName]; [UIStoryboardSegue setStoryboardName:SceneIdentifierOrNil]; // Nil will activate the initial scene of the storyboard [viewcontroller performSegue:SegueIdentifier sender:self];
