Navigate to a new view controller for every cell in table view

Question

I am a beginner coder in swift. I am trying to create a tabbed application. For one of my tabs, I am creating a table view which has multiple rows each which have a different task (A good way to think of this is the facebook app, where each option in the more screen will take you to a separate view)

Now, my table is populated with an array:

let array  = ["one", "two", "three]

I want to ask, that everytime that I tap on one of these rows, I would like to go a new view controller. How is this possible?

What I tried was performSegue with an identifier which I give in the storyboard, but then there would be an x amount of segues connecting to the table view? So I don't think this is right? :/

I know the contents of the array prior to generating the table, so If I know the array value, and the row being tapped, how can I navigate to a new view controller?

Edit:

When performing the segue between the controllers, I am using:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "showView", sender: self)
}

This of course will only connect to the segue showView however, how can i add multiple view controllers?

Answer 1

You need to simply compare which row is selected in tableView and then perform segue according to it.

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    let segueIdentifier: String
    switch indexPath.row {
    case 0: //For "one"
         segueIdentifier = "showView1"
    case 1: //For "two"
         segueIdentifier = "showView2"
    default: //For "three"
         segueIdentifier = "showView3"
    }
    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: segueIdentifier, sender: self)
}

Add the following function to your controller.

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    navigationController?.pushViewController(NewController(), animated: true)
}
