UIViewController Transitions

Navigation Controller

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    @IBAction func didTapButton(_ sender: UIButton) {
        // Instantiate the next view controller to display.
        // This instantiates a view controller constructed in Interface Builder.
        anotherViewController =
            UIStoryboard(
                name: "Main",
                bundle: nil
            ).instantiateViewController(
                withIdentifier: "com.example.SomeStoryboardIdentifier"
            )

        // Push the next view controller on the navigation controller stack and display
        navigationController?.pushViewController(anotherViewContrroller, animated: true)
    }
}

How to Segue from a table view to a detail view

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    // All segues for this UIViewController are handled by this method,
    // so specific behavior must target via the segue's identifier, which is
    // defined in the storyboard or programatically.
    if segue.identifier == "showItemDetailSegueIdentifier" {
        if let itemDetailViewController = segue.destinationViewController as? ItemDetailViewController {

            // Table views return the selected index path, which can be
            // used to pass the correct item to the detail view controller.
            if selectedIndexPath = itemsTableView.indexPathForSelectedRow {
                itemDetailViewController.item = items[selectedIndexPath.row]
            }
        }
    }
}
