How can I call presentViewController in UIView class?

Question

There is a custom tab in in my project that is on every screen of the app, so i made custom UIView class and xib file and added buttons in them. Now i want my buttons for navigations on different screens having different story board ids. But i can't call presentViewController from UIView class. Previously i custom function in extension class to navigate between screens but UIView class also can't call that function.

import UIKit

@IBDesignable class tab: UIView {

var view: UIView!

@IBAction func btn1(sender: UIButton) {
    let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
    let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("6")
    self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
override init(frame: CGRect) {
    super.init(frame: frame)
    xibSetup()
}

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) { 
    super.init(coder: aDecoder) 
    xibSetup()
}

func xibSetup() {
    view = loadViewFromNib() 
    view.frame = bounds 
    view.autoresizingMask = [UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleWidth, UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight] 
    addSubview(view)
} 
func loadViewFromNib() -> UIView {
    let bundle = NSBundle(forClass: self.dynamicType)
    let nib = UINib(nibName: "tab", bundle: bundle) 
    let view = nib.instantiateWithOwner(self, options: nil)[0] as! UIView
    return view
} 
}

Answer 1

Call this function on your button

func infoClick()  {

        let storyboard: UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard (name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let vc: CampainDetailView = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("campainDetailView") as! CampainDetailView
        let currentController = self.getCurrentViewController()
        currentController?.presentViewController(vc, animated: false, completion: nil)

    }

This function will create root view controller

func getCurrentViewController() -> UIViewController? {

    if let rootController = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow?.rootViewController {
        var currentController: UIViewController! = rootController
        while( currentController.presentedViewController != nil ) {
            currentController = currentController.presentedViewController
        }
        return currentController
    }
    return nil

}

This above code must work, it is working for me in Swift 2.1

You can use delegate. Add this to the Tab class

protocol TabDelegate {

    func didButtonTapped()
}

var delegate: TabDelegate?

@IBAction func btn1(sender: UIButton) {
    delegate?.didButtonTapped()
}

In the viewController where use the Tab. Set the delegate like this

let tab = Tab()
tab.delegate = self

Then push the new viewController in the delegate method And you can make a BaseViewController to do this, then all the viewController subClass it can have the same feature.

class BaseViewController: UIViewController, TabDelegate {

    func didButtonTapped() {
        let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
        let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("6")
        self.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

Class ViewControllerA: BaseViewController {
}

Class ViewControllerB: BaseViewController {
}

Add a property to this class, then your can use the methods of controller.

weak var controller:UIViewController!

self.controller?.presentViewController(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
