JASidePanels example-2 using storyboards : crash

Question

I am trying to implement the JASidePanels example2 using storyboard. https://github.com/gotosleep/JASidePanels#example-2-storyboards

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
  [self setLeftPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"leftViewController"]];
  [self setCenterPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"centerViewController"]];
  [self setLeftPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"rightViewController"]];
}

If I added above code into CenterViewController.m that was as same as MySidePanelController.m in the example2, the app was crashed like below.

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
//  [self setLeftPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"leftViewController"]];
//  [self setCenterPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"centerViewController"]];
//  [self setLeftPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"rightViewController"]];
}

If I commented out like above, the app worked like below.

I'm new to iOS. Could you tell me what is wrong?

My environment.

• XCode : Version 4.6.2
• iOS SDK : 6.1
• Simulator : iPhone 6.1

You are causing a stackoverflow by calling the code in -awakeFromNib in your center view controller as it sets another center view controller as its center panel and goes this way till the app crashes.

You need to have a subclass of JASidePanelController where you implement the-awakeFromNib and your other 3 view controllers that you set as panels.

#import "JASidePanelController.h"

@interface MyPanelsController : JASidePanelController

@end


#import "MyPanelsController.h"

@implementation MyPanelsController

-(void)awakeFromNib
{
    [self setLeftPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"leftViewController"]];
    [self setCenterPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"centerViewController"]];
    [self setRightPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"rightViewController"]];
}

@end

And in your storyboard drag a UIViewController and set its class to MyPanelsController and set it as the initial view controller.
