SWRevealViewController from one controller to another

Question

I'm working with SWRevealViewController to have a side menu on an application. It works as expected from the side menu to a controller. What I'd like to do now is use SWRevealViewController again from one controller to another (both UITableViewController).

From Side Menu to Controller 1 to Controller 2:

This is what I've tried to do so far:

Set up the Real View Controller Segue from the Interface Builder to the second Controller with identifier "articlesSegue".

And in the first Controller I use didSelectRowAtIndexPath and prepareForSegue to show the second Controller:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // Set selected issue to var
    _selectedIssue = _feedItems[indexPath.row];

    // Manually call segue to detail view controller
    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"articlesSegue" sender:self];
}

#pragma mark Segue

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    // Get reference to the destination view controller
    TableViewController *tableVC = segue.destinationViewController;

    // data used in the second Controller
    tableVC.self.type = @"category";
    tableVC.self.data = [_selectedIssue.ID stringValue];
}

Selecting an item from the list is displayed as selected but nothing happens.

I've tested it out using a Push Segue and it worked, still I prefer it to working with SWRevealViewController.

I did find this question but I'm not too sure how it has to be implemented, SWRevealViewController - manually switch to another view?.

Answer 1

As @Anbu.Kathik explained I could not use the SWReveal to move from Controller to another Controller. I've solved it by using the same TableViewController, I've added a property type to check which is the current 'tableview' and simply updating the table when an item is selected on didSelectRowAtIndexPath.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // check type of current tableview - if category display article
    if ([self.type isEqualToString:@"category"]) {
        // display single article
        _selectedArticle = _feedItems[indexPath.row];
        [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"detailSegue" sender:self];
    }
    else {
        // else if issue display list of articles on the same TableViewController
        _selectedIssue = _feedItems[indexPath.row];
        self.type = @"category";
        self.data = [_selectedIssue.ID stringValue];
        [_homeModel downloadItems:self.type :self.data];
    }
}

Using [self.tableView reloadData] reloads the table with new data.
