PageViewController current page index in Swift

Question

I want to get current index of a pageViewController, I don\'t know how I get the visible pages index.

func pageViewController(pageViewController: UIPageViewContr

Swift 3: full programmatic PageViewController example to get/set the current page index without view tagging:

enum PageViewType:String {
        case green = "greenView"
        case blue = "blueView"
        case red = "redView"  
}

class MyPageViewController: UIPageViewController {

    private (set) lazy var orderedViewControllers:[UIViewController] = {
         return [self.newPageView(.green),
                self.newPageView(.blue),
                self.newPageView(.red)
        ]
    }

    var currentIndex:Int {
            get {
                return orderedViewControllers.index(of: self.viewControllers!.first!)!
            }

            set {
                guard newValue >= 0,
                    newValue < orderedViewControllers.count else {
                    return
                }

                let vc = orderedViewControllers[newValue]
                let direction:UIPageViewControllerNavigationDirection = newValue > currentIndex ? .forward : .reverse            
                self.setViewControllers([vc], direction: direction, animated: true, completion: nil) 
            }
        }

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        dataSource = self

        if let firstViewController = orderedViewControllers.first {
            setViewControllers([firstViewController],
                           direction: .forward,
                           animated: true,
                           completion: nil)
        }
    }

    private func newPageView(_ viewType:PageViewType) -> UIViewController {
        let vc = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: viewType.rawValue)       
        return vc
    }
}

UIPageViewController DataSource implementation:

extension MyPageViewController:UIPageViewControllerDataSource {

    func pageViewController(_ pageViewController: UIPageViewController, viewControllerBefore viewController: UIViewController) -> UIViewController? {

        let previousIndex = currentIndex - 1

        guard previousIndex >= 0 else {
            return nil
        }

        guard orderedViewControllers.count > previousIndex else {
            return nil
        }

        return orderedViewControllers[previousIndex]   
    }

    func pageViewController(_ pageViewController: UIPageViewController, viewControllerAfter viewController: UIViewController) -> UIViewController? {         
        let nextIndex = currentIndex + 1

        guard orderedViewControllers.count != nextIndex else {
            return nil
        }

        guard orderedViewControllers.count > nextIndex else {
            return nil
        }

        return orderedViewControllers[nextIndex]
    }

    func presentationCountForPageViewController(pageViewController: UIPageViewController) -> Int {
        return orderedViewControllers.count
    }

    func presentationIndexForPageViewController(pageViewController: UIPageViewController) -> Int {

        return currentIndex
    }
}
