How to hide a navigation bar from first ViewController in Swift?

Question

How can I hide a navigation bar from first ViewController or a particular ViewController in swift?

I used the following code in viewDidLoad():

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = true
}

and also on viewWillAppear:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = true
}

Both methods hide the navigation controller from all ViewControllers.

If you know that all other views should have the bar visible, you could use viewWillDisappear to set it to visible again.

In Swift:

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: animated)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
}
