it possible to Pass Data with popViewControllerAnimated?

Question

I came across an interesting problem, i have main ViewController let\'s call him MainVC with navigationController and i am doing performSegueWithIdentifier from him to Mine

Answer 1

I simply set up a protocol in the view being dismissed (example in Swift):

 protocol ExampleTableViewControllerDismissDelegate {
    func didDismiss(withData: Any)
}

var delegate: SearchableTableViewControllerDismissDelegate?

You can then call this when you dismiss/pop your view like this

self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
delegate?.didDismiss(withData: Any)

Then in the view being dismissed to (the parent in the hierarchy), we can conform to the delegate and essentially get a callback with the data after the view has been dismissed.

//MARK: ExampleTableViewControllerDismissDelegate

func didDismiss(withData: Any) {
    //do some funky stuff
}

And don't forget to subscribe to the delegate in the parent view by using

viewController.delegate = self
