How can I get a UIToolBar with buttons created from a view controller to another?

Question

I am trying to create a second view controller and I would like to have the same toolbar with buttons that I created and coded from the first view controller without creating and coding that toolbar again. How can I do that?

Answer 1

A better approach would be to create the toolbar in a parent view controller. You should use a navigation controller embedded in a container view for that.

This is the scene structure of this approach in Interface Builder:

Use an Embed Segue to display the navigation controller in the container view.

You can use delegates to pass actions (e.g. a bar button item was tapped).
