I am sending a textfield entry through a segue to appear in a textfield on another ViewController. The issue I'm having is that the segue nor the sending the of textfield entry is working properly. I know that the segue identifier is correct as if I use self.performSegueWithIdentifier("WelcomeSignUp", sender: nil ) it works fine. Can anybody point out an error I have made or a better method to use?
Here is the code from the first ViewController
@IBOutlet var Email: UITextField!
@IBAction func Signup(sender: AnyObject) {
let email = self.Email.text
if email == "" {
displayAlert("Error", message: "Please Enter Your Email Address")
} else {
func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "WelcomeSignUp" {
let destination = segue.destinationViewController as! SignUpViewController
destination.mail = Email.text!
}
}
}
}
Code of receiving ViewController
@IBOutlet var EmailSignUp: UITextField!
var mail = ""
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
EmailSignUp.text = mail
}
UPDATED CODE FROM FIRST ViewController
@IBAction func Signup(sender: AnyObject) {
let email = self.Email.text
if email == "" {
displayAlert("Error", message: "Please Enter Your Email Address")
}
}
func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "WelcomeSignUp" {
let destination = segue.destinationViewController as! SignUpViewController
destination.mail = Email.text!
}
}
prepareForSegue(_:sender:) must be an instance method, but you have declared it as a nested (and unused) function inside Signup(_:).
You need to move it out so it is declared in the same scope as Signup(_:).
