programmatically access UIViewController identifier

Question

I have a base UIViewController I inherit from for some basic content in my app using storyboards.

I instantiate it like this:

BasicContentViewController *targetController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"ColorCouture"];
        [self.navigationController pushFadeViewController:targetController];

OR

 BasicContentViewController *targetController = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"Hospitality"];
        [self.navigationController pushFadeViewController:targetController];

Is there a way for me to check the Identifier I used to instantiate the UIViewControllers?

I want to make sure I am not pushing more than 1 of each of these controller onto my UIViewController stack

I'm not sure what you're asking. You do have the identifiers, since you use them to instantiate your view controllers. What exactly are do you want to check? — TotoroTotoro, Nov 27 '13 at 00:46
It [appears](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13708660/programmatically-get-a-storyboard-id) the answer is no. — FluffulousChimp, Nov 27 '13 at 03:29
actually, if you read down further you can use restorationId, which works perfectly for me. — Slee, Nov 27 '13 at 11:38

This question solves my problem for me:

Programmatically get a Storyboard ID?

I am just using the restorationId instead, works perfectly.
