Where and how to perform segues in VIPER architecture?

Question

As a beginner, I used to perform segues in ViewControllers. Moreover, Apple encourages such approach, because UIViewController has methods performSegue and prepareForSegue.

But learning VIPER, I read that Router is responsible for transitions between scenes. And the second thing is that according to VIPER flowcharts like this:

Router mustn't be tied with View.

I absolutely don't want to refuse from using segues, because it is extremely powerful and allows me to easily transfer data between ViewControllers.

So, how should I perform transitions between ViewControllers?

Answer 1

In pure VIPER all transitions should be performed in Router. So you would not be able to use segues if you'll choose to implement VIPER

Answer 2

Personally I prefer using Storyboard ID rather than segues. For example :
1. Put a relevant storyboard ID for your view. image link.
2. Then you can access that view like : let loginVC = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil).instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Login")
3. You can pass data with it like: loginVC.type = 0
4. You can access it whenever you want like: navigationController?.pushViewController(loginVC, animated: true)
