How can i pass Label from viewController to another one without using segue? - arrays

Question

Hi im new in swift and im trying to build a store application, i already build it but i have a problem with only one thing which is , i want to pass the data ( label, image, price label ) to another viewController without using segue. I tried all the method ( delegate, notificationCenter, closure ) but i didn't solve it.
this is a picture for new project i create it to explain what i want to do exactly .
i hope i get the solution because i search alot for it maybe for months but i didn't solve my problem :(
this is my code
passingViewController
import UIKit
extension passingDataViewController : textDelegate {
func sendText(withText: String) {
Label.text = withText
}
}
class receivingDataViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet var label2: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}
receivingDataViewController
import UIKit
extension passingDataViewController : textDelegate {
func sendText(withText: String) {
Label.text = withText
}
}
class receivingDataViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet var label2: UILabel!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
}

You didn't explain how you're creating the new controllers, but here's a simple example that just uses a tab controller. This makes use of a shared singleton to pass around the delegate, but if you're creating each controller programatically, you could update the delegate when you create each new instance.
For this example, I have created a singleton that contains the delegate
import Foundation
class SharedSingleton : NSObject
{
var updateDelegate : UpdateDelegate?
static let sharedInstance = SharedSingleton()
}
And then we define the protocol you're using.
In the passing view, you can define it like this
protocol UpdateDelegate
{
func updateDisplay(text : String)
}
and you use it (in the passing view like this
var sharedInstance = SharedSingleton.sharedInstance
#IBAction func cmdGo(_ sender: Any) {
sharedInstance.updateDelegate!.updateDisplay(text: txtInput.text!)
}
You define the receiving view to use the update protocol
class ReceivingViewController: UIViewController, UpdateDelegate {
and set up the delegate
var sharedInstance = SharedSingleton.sharedInstance
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// setup the delegate through the shared instance
sharedInstance.updateDelegate = self
}
and then implement the update method
func updateDisplay(text: String) {
lblDisplay.text = text
}
That's it. You may need to update your implementation to change how you share the delegate pointer, but that's the process.
