How pass the value of a selected cell to another ViewController?


Essentially, I have the following UITableViewController that contains custom tableView cells with labels in them. When the cell is selected I would like the value of the cell to be passed to the next view controller where I am using it in an HTTP POST response.

What can be added to didSelectRowAt to pass the value of the selected cell to the view controller presented?

Perhaps as a variable?

The following is my code:

import UIKit

class ScheduledCell: UITableViewCell {

    @IBOutlet weak var ETALabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var cellStructure: UIView!

    @IBOutlet weak var scheduledLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var testingCell: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var pickupLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var deliveryLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var stopLabel: UILabel!
    @IBOutlet weak var topBar: UIView!


}

class ToCustomerTableViewController: UITableViewController, UIGestureRecognizerDelegate {

    var typeValue = String()

    var driverName = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "name")!
    var structure = [AlreadyScheduledStructure]()


    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        fetchJSON()


        //Disable delay in button tap
        self.tableView.delaysContentTouches = false

        tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()

    }


    private func fetchJSON() {
        guard let url = URL(string: "https://example.com/example/example"),
            let value = driverName.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: .urlQueryValueAllowed)
            else { return }

        var request = URLRequest(url: url)
        request.httpMethod = "POST"
        request.httpBody = "driverName=\(value)".data(using: .utf8)

        URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, _, error in
            guard let data = data else { return }


            do {
                self.structure = try JSONDecoder().decode([AlreadyScheduledStructure].self,from:data)
                DispatchQueue.main.async {
                    self.tableView.reloadData()
                }
            }
            catch {
                print(error)
            }

            }.resume()

    }



    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

        return structure.count
    }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "scheduledID", for: indexPath) as! ScheduledCell
        let portfolio = structure[indexPath.row]
        cell.stopLabel.text = "Stop \(portfolio.stop_sequence)"
        cell.testingCell.text = portfolio.customer
        return cell

    }

    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {


        let portfolio = structure[indexPath.row]
        let controller = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "scheduledDelivery")

        print(portfolio.customer)
        controller.navigationItem.title = navTitle
        navigationController?.pushViewController(controller, animated: true)
    }


    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
        return 200.0
    }

}

Solution

  • add a portfolio variable to your next ViewController

       class scheduledDeleivery: UIViewController{
         var customer:String? //suposing this is customer type
    

    then in override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {

        let portfolio = structure[indexPath.row]
        let controller = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "scheduledDelivery") as! shcheduledDeleivery
        controller.customer = porfolio.customer //here is the customer you need to pass to next viewcontroller
        print(portfolio.customer)
        controller.navigationItem.title = navTitle
        navigationController?.pushViewController(controller, animated: true)
    }
