How to search Segue Identifier in storyboard?

Question

I have a lot of controller in my storyboard and i am calling.

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"someIdentifier" sender:self];

If i want to search the controller associate with someIdentifier in xcode storyboard then how can i do?

Is there any way or i have to click and check on all the controller?

Answer 1

As suggest by Drux:

The best way i found is search Segue Identifier in the XML source code (Open As | Source Code) for the name of the viewcontroller and take it from there.

Answer 2

Unfortunately there's no way in code to find storyboard identifiers for a view controller / storyboard scene.

You could consider adding an additional target/build phase to your project that runs a script to extract the segue identifiers from the storyboard XML and convert into a file of constants you can import. Then you get runtime checking of the strings.

Something like this (for push segues):

grep -r -h  "kind=\"push\"" *.storyboard | sed -e 's/.*identifier="\(.*\)".*id=\".*/extern NSString * const XXXSegueName_\1;/' | sort | uniq  > "XXXSegueConstants.h"
grep -r -h  "kind=\"push\"" *.storyboard | sed -e 's/.*identifier="\(.*\)".*id=\".*/NSString * const XXXSegueName_\1 = @\"\1\";/' | sort | uniq  > "XXXSegueConstants.m"

should give you:

extern NSString * const HDCSegueName_PushMyViewController;

and

NSString * const HDCSegueName_PushMyViewController = @"PushMyViewController";

I'll leave other segue types as an exercise for the reader!
