Question

I have system \"NavigationViewController -> MyViewController\", and I programmatically want to present MyViewController inside a third view controller. The problem is that I

Answer 1

I used an extension to UIViewController and a struct to make sure that my current view is presented from the favourites

1.Struct for a global Bool

struct PresentedFromFavourites {
static var comingFromFav = false}

2.UIVeiwController extension: presented modally as in the second option by "stefandouganhyde - Option 2 " and solving the back

extension UIViewController {
func returnToFavourites()
{
    // you return to the storyboard wanted by changing the name
    let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)
    let mainNavigationController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeNav") as! UINavigationController
    // Set animated to false
    let favViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Favourites")
    self.present(mainNavigationController, animated: false, completion: {
        mainNavigationController.pushViewController(favViewController, animated: false)
    })

}
// call this function in viewDidLoad()
// 
func addBackToFavouritesButton()
{
    if PresentedFromFavourites.comingFromFav
    {
        //Create a button
        // I found this good for most size classes
        let buttonHeight = (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.size.height)! - 15
        let rect = CGRect(x: 2, y: 8, width: buttonHeight, height: buttonHeight)
        let aButton = UIButton(frame: rect)
        // Down a back arrow image from icon8 for free and add it to your image assets  
        aButton.setImage(#imageLiteral(resourceName: "backArrow"), for: .normal)
        aButton.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
        aButton.addTarget(self, action:#selector(self.returnToFavourites), for: .touchUpInside)
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.addSubview(aButton)
        PresentedFromFavourites.comingFromFav = false
    }
