Grabbing Google Maps Marker Snippet and Title Value when Marker Info Window Is Tapped Swift

Question

so I figured out how to make it so that when i tap a google maps marker info window it takes me to a different view controller but now I also want to pass the currently tapped on markers snippet and title value to that next view controller. I am using the google maps api and programming in swift. The following is the code that I am currently using:

func mapView(mapiew: GMSMapView, didTapInfoWindowOfMarker marker: GMSMarker) {
    let next = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewUserProfile") as! ViewUserProfile
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(next, animated: true)
}

That pushes to a new view controller, I just need to figure out now how to pass the snippet and title value through that function so that I can use it in the next view controller.

Any help will be much appreciated!!!

you can get marker snippet by **snippet** property. Please refer this link https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/reference/interface_g_m_s_marker.html#a2a8444d762a74f62f6b9a2b4aae2b8d8 — Chirag Shah, Aug 30 '16 at 04:31
could you please explain it more in code. I am new to swift. — Rohan Vasishth, Aug 30 '16 at 21:53
just write like this let str : String = marker.snippet as! String — Chirag Shah, Aug 31 '16 at 03:54
var gettingSnippetStuff: String { set { currentlyTappedMarkerSnippetValue = (marker.snippet! as String) } get { return "\(currentlyTappedMarkerSnippetValue)" } } — Rohan Vasishth, Sep 01 '16 at 04:22

because it still does not let me use the variable in the next view controller — Rohan Vasishth, Sep 01 '16 at 05:14
could you maybe show me some code explaining this. I am really sorry for bothering you this much — Rohan Vasishth, Sep 01 '16 at 21:56

In order to transfer data. You must create a new file with a struct:

struct YourVariables {

static var variable = ""

}

You can then go in whatever view controller you want to set the variable like this : YourVariables.variable = "newVariableData"

You then simply go in whatever view controller you want to access the data and set a label.text = YourVariables.variable
