Using the same swift file/view controller for multiple tabs in a tabbed application
I want to use the same swift file and view controller for two different tabs in a tabbed application.
I am only using a tab bar controller, not a navigation controller
Depending on which tab is clicked, I will change a couple of global variables, but other than that, the code and the design will remain the same.
How can I have a user click on each "tab" and use the same view controller/file while changing the variables based on what "tab" was clicked?

You want the same instance of the VC or you want two VCs of the same type?

@ColdLogic Whatever makes it easier to be honest. All but two variables will be different depending on which tab is selected

@JDub you can't have 1 instance to appear in place of 2 tabs , unles you make everything custom including the tabbar as pure views that you handle all actions

If you are using storyboards, have 2 tabs on your tap controller, and make each one the same type using the inspector. Then you will have two instances of the same type of VC. @Sh_Khan is correct in that having the same VC in two places will be a lot of coding, and probably wouldn't be a good way to implement it anyway.
