iOS Segue - Left to Right -

Question

I\'ve read the other posts on segues but none solve my question.

Simply put, my ViewControllers are ordered, like a book. I want backward transitions (

You can use of the predeclared type of transition in transitionWithView method

UIView.transitionWithView(self.window!, duration: 0.5, options:.TransitionFlipFromLeft, animations: { () -> Void in
            self.window!.rootViewController = mainVC
            }, completion:nil)

I guess .TransitionFlipFromLeft is the desired one

To complete the task, drag a new view controller to your storyboard and name it with some id. This is going to be the destination of the transition.

then instantiate this view controller from code

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "MyStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let mainVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("someViewController") as! UIViewController

You can do this either inside the IBAction or for example in ViewDidLoad but probably IBAction will be the better choice. Pay attention to type the correct identifiers for both storyboard and view controller. Also, you have to declare your appDelegate instance. Here is the implemented IBAction

@IBAction func push(sender: UIButton) {

    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    let mainVC = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("secondVC") as! UIViewController
    let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate

    UIView.transitionWithView(appDelegate.window!, duration: 0.5, options: .TransitionFlipFromLeft , animations: { () -> Void in
        appDelegate.window!.rootViewController = mainVC
        }, completion:nil)
}

If this is not what you have expected, probably you might want to make a custom animation. This article is really helpful : http://mathewsanders.com/animated-transitions-in-swift/
