Tableview passing same data to another Tableview - swift

Question

I have a an app that displays players through a Tableview. The user can "add" a new player and input his name, height, weight, picture, etc... and once saved will be added to the Tableview. They can also tap on each player and it takes them to the player detail view controller where it displays all of the information you entered (name, height, weight, throw, bat, position, etc...). This is the current code when a user taps on a player to take them to the player detail page:
var player2 = [Player]()
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "detail" {
let playerDetailScreen = segue.destinationViewController as! PlayerDetailViewController
if let selectedPlayerCell = sender as? PlayerListTableViewCell {
let indexPath = tableView.indexPathForCell(selectedPlayerCell)!
let selectedPlayer = player2[indexPath.row]
playerDetailScreen.playereDetail = selectedPlayer
}
}
}
I am trying to implement a tableview inside the view controller where the user adds a new player and enters the information. This table view is where a user can add the teams or years someone has played (I am using table view because the number of entries can vary). My question is what is the best way to go about this?? Right now I have a 2nd class named Teams.swift for this specific table view but is this the best way to do it? The idea is to then display this data in a tableview on the detail page (again, because the entries will vary in number) so how do I pass the data from one tableview to another??
Should I eliminate the [Teams] class and just put it under the [Player] class? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Firstly, I would recommend using :
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
// what happens when user selects a cell
let cell = self.tableView.cellForRowAtIndexPath.indexPath // This will give you cell that was selected
let selectedPlayer = cell.player // This gives you the instance of the player (Benefit of using player class)
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("identifier", sender : selectedPlayer)
// ^ This will automatically call prepareforseque method.
}
Next, inside prepareforsegue method, do this :
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
if segue.identifier == "detail" {
let playerDetailScreen = segue.destinationViewController as! PlayerDetailViewController
let selectedPlayer = sender as! Player
playerDetailScreen.name = self.selectedPlayer.name
playerDetailScreen.height = self.selectedPlayer.height
... so on.
// So, remember to create property for each name, height, etc.
// inside playerDetailScreen
// This is how you can transfer data
}
}
}
