Creating a segue programmatically
ios, objective-c, segue
Solution
By definition a segue can't really exist independently of a storyboard. It's even there in the name of the class: `UIStoryboardSegue`. You don't create segues programmatically - it is the storyboard runtime that creates them for you. You can normally call `performSegueWithIdentifier:` in your view controller's code, but this relies on having a segue already set up in the storyboard to reference.
What I think you are asking though is how you can create a method in your common view controller (base class) that will transition to a new view controller, and will be inherited by all derived classes. You could do this by creating a method like this one to your base class view controller:
- (IBAction)pushMyNewViewController
{
MyNewViewController *myNewVC = [[MyNewViewController alloc] init];
// do any setup you need for myNewVC
[self presentModalViewController:myNewVC animated:YES];
}
and then in your derived class, call that method when the appropriate button is clicked or table row is selected or whatever.
Problem
I have a common `UIViewController` that all my `UIViewsControllers` extend to reuse some common operations. I want to set up a segue on this "Common" `UIViewController` so that all the other `UIViewControllers` inherit. I am trying to figure out how do I do that programmatically. I guess that the question could also be how do I set a `segue` for all my `UIViewControllers` without going into the story board and do them by hand.
