How to segue into a new view controller from button in table view cell

Question

How can I segue into a new view controller from a button that is in a table view cell? I need to send some data with it so I'm not sure if I can do that from my tableViewCell class.

Answer 1

try

var profilePressed: ((UITableViewCell) -> Void)?

@IBAction func profileNamePressed(_ sender: Any) {
    profilePressed?(self)
}

in your table view cell class, and this:

cell.profilePressed = { (cell) in
    let profileVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "ProfileVC") as! ProfileVC
    profileVC.initData(withPostedBy: message.postedBy)
    self.presentDetail(profileVC)
}

in your cell for row at index path function
