How to hide a navigation bar from first ViewController in Swift?

Question

How can I hide a navigation bar from first ViewController or a particular ViewController in swift?

I used the following code in viewDidLoad():

Answer 1

In IOS 8 do it like

navigationController?.hidesBarsOnTap = true

but only when it's part of a UINavigationController

make it false when you want it back

Answer 2

You can unhide navigationController in viewWillDisappear

override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool)
{
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false
}

Swift 3

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
}

Answer 3

I use a variant of the above, and isolate sections of my app to be embedded in differing NavControllers. This way, i don't have to reset visibility. Very useful in startup sequences, for example.

Call the set hide method in view Will appear and Disappear. if you will not call the method in view will disappear with status false.It will hide the navigation bar in complete navigation hierarchy

    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: true)
}
