how can I pass a data from a UICollectionView indexwise

I previously passed some data from a tableView like this: 

    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {

    if( segue.identifier == "productList_to_detail" ) {

        let VC1 = segue.destination as! ShopItemVC
        if afData == 1 {
          if let indexPath = self.tableView.indexPathForSelectedRow {
                let productIdToGet = sCategory[indexPath.row]
                VC1.product_id = productIdToGet.product_id
            }
        }
    }
}

as you can see when I tap on a particular Cell it grabs some data from it and pass the data relative to the Cell . Now I want to do the same but with a CollectionView. When I tap on a particular item of the CollectionView I want to grab some value from it and pass it through segue . How can I do that ?

To access the selected cell's data of collectionView in prepare(for:sender:) method it depends on how you have created segue in storyboard.

  • If Segue is created from UICollectionViewCell to Destination ViewController.

    override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {

    if( segue.identifier == "productList_to_detail" ) {

        let VC1 = segue.destination as! ShopItemVC
        if let cell = sender as? UICollectionViewCell,
           let indexPath = self.collectionView.indexPath(for: cell) {

              let productIdToGet = sCategory[indexPath.row]
              VC1.product_id = productIdToGet.product_id
        }
    }
}

  • If Segue is created from Source ViewController to Destination ViewController.

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    //Pass indexPath as sender
    self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "productList_to_detail", sender: indexPath)
}

override func prepare(for segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?) {

    if( segue.identifier == "productList_to_detail" ) {

        let VC1 = segue.destination as! ShopItemVC
        if let indexPath = sender as? IndexPath {

              let productIdToGet = sCategory[indexPath.row]
              VC1.product_id = productIdToGet.product_id
        }
    }
}
