Custom init of UIViewController from storyboard

Question

An (ugly) way to solve this issue:

You can set your let i from an external buffer in your code (AppDelegate variable in this example)

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
    self.i = UIApplication.shared().delegate.bufferForI

    super.init(coder: aDecoder)
}

And when you initiate your UIViewController through Storyboard:

UIApplication.shared().delegate.bufferForI = myIValue
self.navigationController!.pushViewControllerFading(self.storyboard!.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "myViewControllerID") as UIViewController)

EDIT: You don't have to pass the value through the AppDelegate. Better answer here.
