UITableView Using a row as a segue

Question

So I've been trying to get any row to act like a segue to the next class, kind of like how if you swipe left you can delete the row, after adding the func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)

but instead in stead of deleting it I would like it to show the another class. If anyone could help it would be great thanks

If I'm understanding the question correctly, you would like so that the user would swipe left on a cell, and it would trigger a segue?

If this is the case, you could try adding a UISwipeGestureRecognizer to the cell using the addGestureRecognizer method, within the cellForRow method of the UITableViewDataSource class.

Hope this helps!

You can add swiprgesturerecognizer something like,

 class MyViewController: UITableViewController {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    var recognizer = UISwipeGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "didSwipe")
    self.tableView.addGestureRecognizer(recognizer)
}

func didSwipe(recognizer: UIGestureRecognizer) {
    if recognizer.state == UIGestureRecognizerState.Ended {
        let swipeLocation = recognizer.locationInView(self.tableView)
        if let swipedIndexPath = tableView.indexPathForRowAtPoint(swipeLocation) {
            if let swipedCell = self.tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath(swipedIndexPath) {
                // Swipe happened. Do stuff!
            }
        }
    }
}

}

This was an example, manage it as your need. you can add swipegesture's direction property for handle particular direction's swipe like UISwipeGestureRecognizerDirection.Left or Right.

You can refer this answer as a reference.

Hope this will help :)

Thanks that really helped. Just one more thing. Rookie question but how do you perform the segue in the code. So in your answer when you say "// Swipe happened. Do stuff!" how do I then get it to show the other class? — M.Larry, Jun 01 '16 at 02:28
You can performsegue something like `performSegueWithIdentifier("mySegueID", sender: nil)` here `mySegueID` is segue identifier set from the interface builder from attribute inspector with segue selected — Ketan Parmar, Jun 01 '16 at 04:30
