perform segue from collection view - swift

Question

My aim is to perform segue from collection view cells to view controller. In the next view controller I have statement
let selectedCar = CarViewController()
if selectedCar.selectedMaker == "a"
I know the way to perform segue with additional class, but do not know how to perform with collection view. I used indexPath with if else statements.
Segue name is "toModels"
class CarsViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource, UICollectionViewDelegate {
public var selectedMaker = ""
#IBOutlet weak var collectionView: UICollectionView!
let mainMenu = ["a","b"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
collectionView.delegate = self
collectionView.dataSource = self
}
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, numberOfItemsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return mainMenu.count
}
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "customCell", for: indexPath) as! CustomCollectionViewCell
cell.imageCell.image = UIImage(named: mainMenu[indexPath.row])
cell.labelCell.text = mainMenu[indexPath.row].capitalized
return cell
}
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
performSegue(withIdentifier: "toModels", sender: selectedMaker)
if indexPath == [0, 0]
{
selectedMaker = "a"
print("a")
}
else if indexPath == [0, 1]
{
selectedMaker = "b"
print("b")
}

Answer 1

Try this EDIT
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
if indexPath.item == 0
{
selectedMaker = "a"
print("a")
}
else if indexPath.item == 1
{
selectedMaker = "b"
print("b")
}
performSegue(withIdentifier: "toModels", sender: selectedMaker)
}
override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?)
{
if (segue.identifier == "toModels")
{
let objVC = segue.destination as! YOUR_NEXT_VIEWCONTROLLER
objVC.strMaker = sender as? String ?? ""
}
}
Define in YOUR_NEXT_VIEWCONTROLLER
public var strMaker = ""
