Question

Quite simply, how do I push a new view controller from a prototype cell within a storyboard? I have a tableView reading data from a plist file, and its one default prototype cell on the storyboard. Then, I have another view controller in the storyboard I need to link to the tapping of a cell on the table view. How can this be accomplished?

Answer 1

1. In your storyboard, link your prototype table view cell to your view
   controller with a segue. Make sure to give the segue an identifier in
   its Attributes Inspector.

2. In your TableViewController class,
   implement - (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender

3. In the prepareForSegue: method, get the NSIndexPath of the row the user tapped with [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow]

4. Use the indexPath to get whatever data you need from your plist. Configure the view controller by using the destinationViewController property of the UIStoryboardSegue parameter passed into prepareForSegue:.
