One solution would be to override prepareForSegue(segue:sender:) from within the view controller which contains the data that you wish to pass to the destination view controller.
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue!, sender: AnyObject!) {
if (segue.identifier == "YourSegueName") {
//get a reference to the destination view controller
let destinationVC:ViewControllerClass = segue.destinationViewController as! ViewControllerClass
//set properties on the destination view controller
destinationVC.name = viewName
//etc...
}
}
