CollectionView Cell segue


I have a tap gesture on my thumbnailImage in the CollectionView cell and it worked when pushed/presented/etc to another View Controller without storyboards now since I implemented the storyboard it doesn't work anymore and I tried many different solutions and there is no transition. I set the class on storyboard but everything is done programmatically. I was wondering if there is any way to switch from the current ViewController to the other from a CollectionView cell.

Picture of storyboard:

This is what it looks like in the simulator:

enter image description here

import UIKit

    class Cell: UICollectionViewCell{

        override init(frame: CGRect) {
            super.init(frame: frame)
            setupViews()

            let tapRecognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(Tap(recognizer:)))
            thumbnailImage.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
            thumbnailImage.addGestureRecognizer(tapRecognizer)

        }

        func setupViews(){
            addSubview(thumbnailImage)
            addSubview(separatorView)
            addSubview(brandName)
            addSubview(Priceing)
            addSubview(model)


            addConstraintsWithFormat(format: "H:|-16-[v0]-16-|", views: thumbnailImage)
            addConstraintsWithFormat(format: "H:|[v0]|", views: separatorView)

            //Vertical Contsraint
            addConstraintsWithFormat(format: "V:[v0(200)]-87-[v1(1)]|", views: thumbnailImage, separatorView)
            addConstraintsWithFormat(format: "V:[v0(20)]", views: brandName)
            addConstraintsWithFormat(format: "V:[v0(20)]", views: Priceing)
            addConstraintsWithFormat(format: "V:[v0(20)]", views: model)

            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: brandName, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: thumbnailImage, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: 8))
            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: brandName, attribute: .right, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: thumbnailImage, attribute: .right, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: brandName, attribute: .left, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: thumbnailImage, attribute: .left, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))

            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: Priceing, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: brandName, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: 4))
            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: Priceing, attribute: .right, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: brandName, attribute: .right, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: Priceing, attribute: .left, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: brandName, attribute: .left, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))

            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: model, attribute: .top, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: Priceing, attribute: .bottom, multiplier: 1, constant: 4))
            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: model, attribute: .right, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: Priceing, attribute: .right, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
            addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: model, attribute: .left, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: Priceing, attribute: .left, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
        }

        let separatorView: UIView = {
            let view = UIView()
            view.backgroundColor = UIColor(displayP3Red: 230/255, green: 230/255, blue: 230/255, alpha: 1)

            return label
        }()

        let Priceing: UILabel = {

            image.clipsToBounds = true
            return image
        }()

        @objc func Tap(recognizer: UITapGestureRecognizer){

Solution

  • Find your UIView parent UIViewController using this extension

    extension UIView {
    
        var parentViewController: UIViewController? {
            var parentResponder: UIResponder? = self
            while parentResponder != nil {
                parentResponder = parentResponder!.next
                if let viewController = parentResponder as? UIViewController {
                    return viewController
                }
            }
            return nil
        }
    }
    

    Add this extension in your project and call like that

        if let vc = self.parentViewController as? YourPresentedViewController{
            let pushVc = DescriptionViewController()
            vc.navigationController?.pushViewController(pushVc, animated: true)
        }
    

    note :- UITableView added in YourPresentedViewController, so My tableview parentViewController is YourPresentedViewController.
