good ios design with mutiple controllers

I intend to build a rather complicated app and I am wondering how to design it correctly.

I have a rootcontroller that is in charge of dispatching the creation of several Controllers (VC1 to VC5), each of them associated with its own storyboard.

So each of these storyboards are quite complex with several levels of controllers usually driven by a navigationcontroller.

My question is the following : let assume that the user is using the deepest controller in the storyboard of VC1. In this controller there is a button. When the user click it I want VC1 and all the controllers linked to it to close and also to have some data sent to the rootcontroller.

My idea is alse to be able to reuse VC1 to VC5 somewhere else in the app but from a different controller than rootcontroller.

What is the best design to achieve that ? Thks

First off, there is no best design.There might be better design in this world for everything.

Your First Quest:

You can use Tabbar Controller with 5 Tabs. Each tab will have navigation controllers for holding your complex design.

For data passing:

  1. Unwind Segue.
  2. Delegates.
  3. Notifications.

For your quest : user click it I want VC1 and all the controllers linked to it to close and also to have some data sent to the rootController.

There are many tutorials of how to go back to root view controller along with data.One of them is passing-data-between-view-controllers I don't want to elaborate this whole procedure but the theme is.

One of many solutions:

  1. Assign that data to destination VC' variable before moving to that VC .For navigation controller, to move to rootView controller,

    [self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];

is used. Hope i've given some light. :)
