Using storyboard only for certain view controllers

Question

I have done a separate project using storyboard.

I need to integrate with an existing big project which doesn't use storyboard.

Is it possible to use storyboard partly (only for some view controllers)? If so how ?

Answer 1

Sure. You can instantiate separate view controllers from storyboard:

Getting a Storyboard Object

+ storyboardWithName:bundle:

Instantiating Storyboard View Controllers

– instantiateInitialViewController
– instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:

For ex:

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"Storyboard" bundle:nil];
YourViewController *yourVC = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"yourViewControllerIdentifier"];

Answer 2

Yes. It is possible. Any view controllers that aren't on the storyboard are presented in exactly the same way they were in the old projected, by instantiating, setting properties (if need be), and pushing.
