SWRevealViewController with NavigationController - Swift 3

Question

I want to make an app in which my navigation bar appears on all pages. When I click on any row of side menu(done through SWRevealViewController), I want the page that opens to have a navigation bar on top. In the image below, I want the same navigation bar as the HomeViewController on the page that has "Menu" label. How can I do this? Please help. I am new to iOS. I am doing this in Xcode 8 and Swift 3.

EDIT : I want something like this: I have placed the side menu button on the reveal view controller. I can see it on the front view controller at runtime but how to connect the target and action of revealviewcontroller then, so that the side menu opens? If this is done then my problem of navigation controller on "Menu" label page will be solved automatically

Answer 1

Suppose outlet of menu is btn_Menu. In controller's view did load I set bar button's action and target programmatically.

 btn_Menu.target = self.revealViewController()
 btn_Menu.action = #selector(SWRevealViewController.revealToggle(_:))

Have a look at this image structure that you need. Sorry not very clear but perhaps solve your issue:

Answer 2

1) create a new ViewController Class called 'BaseViewController'

2) in the BaseViewController viewDidLoad add the following code and change the images names and targets also add the left button for the menu

  let btn1 = UIButton(type: .custom)
    btn1.setImage(UIImage(named: "imagename"), for: .normal)
    btn1.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30)
    btn1.addTarget(self, action: #selector(Class.Methodname), for: .touchUpInside)
    let item1 = UIBarButtonItem(customView: btn1)

    let btn2 = UIButton(type: .custom)
    btn2.setImage(UIImage(named: "imagename"), for: .normal)
    btn2.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 30, height: 30)
    btn2.addTarget(self, action: #selector(Class.MethodName), for: .touchUpInside)
    let item2 = UIBarButtonItem(customView: btn2)  

    self.navigationItem.setRightBarButtonItems([item1,item2], animated: true)

3) make the viewControllers which you will show from the side menu like the one with menu label inherits from BaseViewController and in it's viewDidLoad make it call super.viewDidLoad()

4) embed the viewControllers which you will show from the side menu in a navigationController

Answer 3

Using Container View may help.

Replace the UIView in the middle (Content) with a Container View and that container can be a UINavigationController. And to avoid having 2 NavigationBars you can hide the NavigationBar of the ContainerView.

The blue highlighted view is the ContainerView inside the Controller that is implementing SideMenu

Answer 4

You need to add all the starting points of your ViewControllers in a NavigationController of their own so in this case you need to embed the ViewController which has the menu label in a NavigationController and make the side menu segue to the NavigationController not the ViewController

hope my answer helps you

Answer 5

You also need to add Navigation Controller for sabe bar Controller Follow the steps :

Select side bar viewcontroller > go to Editior menu > Embed in > Click Navigation Controller
