Get button pressed id on Swift via sender

Question

So I have a storyboard with 3 buttons I want to just create 1 action for all those 3 buttons and decide what to do based on their label/id...

Is there a way to get s

Answer 1

Use the outlets instead, tags clutter the code and make the readability way worse. Think about the poor developer that reads the code next and sees if sender.tag = 381 { // do some magic }, it just won't make any sense.

My example:

class PhoneNumberCell: UITableViewCell {
  @IBOutlet weak var callButton: UIButton!
  @IBOutlet weak var messageButton: UIButton!

  @IBAction func didSelectAction(_ sender: UIButton) {
    if sender == callButton {
      debugPrint("Call person")
    } else if sender == messageButton {
      debugPrint("Message person")
    }
  }

  [...]
}

You could also do this in a nice switch as well, which would make it even better.
