Saving Labels in NSUserDefault in Swift - swift

Question

So in the app I'm creating I have a settings view controller where users can type their information in the textfields and then when they click the done button it loads all that information to labels on the home view controller . How can I save the data in the home view controller with NSUserDefault? I'm using two view controllers.
Settings View Controller
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?){
let DestViewController = segue.destinationViewController as! home
DestViewController.NameText = NameTextField.text!
DestViewController.positionText = positionTextField.text!
DestViewController.divisionText = divisionTextField.text!
DestViewController.routeText = routeTextField.text!
DestViewController.routeText = routeTextField.text!
DestViewController._picture = _picture.image!
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(NameTextField.text!, forKey: "name")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(positionTextField.text!, forKey: "position")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(divisionTextField.text!, forKey: "division")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(routeTextField.text!, forKey: "route")
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(_picture, forKey: "ImageKey")
}
Home View Controller
class home: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {
#IBOutlet weak var Name: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var position: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var division: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var route: UILabel!
var contacts = MyContacts()
var NameText = String()
var positionText = String()
var divisionText = String()
var routeText = String()
var _picture: UIImage!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
Name!.text = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("name")
position!.text = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("position")
division!.text = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("division")
route!.text = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("route")
Profile!.image = _picture
}
All of these codes work perfect, I'm just wondering if you could help me save the labels in NSUserDefault so every time the app is loaded all the information is still there. I've done a lot of research on this topic, but can find a solution for my problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Just use basic syntax:
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(value, forKey:key)
Save example:-
NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().setValue(positionTextField.text!, forKey: "position")
Retrieve example:-
position!.text=NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults().stringForKey("position")
Note: remember the key must be unique.

I have created following 2 functions which does Saving & Retrieving of Data using NSUserDefault. Refer it and use accordingly.
func saveDataInUserDefault()
{
// *** init NSUserDefaults ***
let userDefaults = NSUserDefaults()
// *** Init a UIImage, you can use your UIImage instead ***
let img = UIImage.init(imageLiteral: "image")
// *** set values in UserDefault as well image ***
userDefaults.setObject("value of name textfield", forKey: "name")
userDefaults.setObject("value of position textfield", forKey: "position")
userDefaults.setObject("value of division textfield", forKey: "division")
userDefaults.setObject("value of route textfield", forKey: "route")
// *** convert image to NSData and store it ***
userDefaults.setObject(UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, 1.0), forKey: "image")
// *** save all the changes to NSUserDefaults ***
userDefaults.synchronize()
}
func getDataFromUserDefaults()
{
// *** Now lets access all the stored data from user default ***
// *** init NSUserDefaults ***
let userDefaults = NSUserDefaults()
// *** to get normal objects use following ***
print(userDefaults.objectForKey("name"))
// *** to load image use following ***
let img = UIImage(data:userDefaults.objectForKey("image") as! NSData)
}
