UIStoryboard controller class as base class

Question

I have a base UIViewController called BaseController and it is invoked via a segue in my storyboard. Now I have two subclasses of this baseController - Subclass1 and Subclass2. I want to invoke SubBaseController1 or SubBaseController2 depending on the target when the segue gets triggered. How do I instantiate SubBaseController1 in target1 or SubBaseController2 in target 2 when the segue gets invoked?

You can do it in two way:

Use two different segues. Add identifiers for both, similar to this picture and then call this code to open the correct screen

performSegue(withIdentifier: "segue1", sender: nil)

Don't create any segue, but add storyboardId to view controller, similar to this: and use this code to init and show view controller:

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: Bundle.main)
let viewController1 = storyboard.instantiateViewController(identifier: "viewController1")
present(viewController1, animated: true)

I will recommend the second way as it gives you more control over the displaying process.
