Swift - How to dismiss all of view controllers to go back to root

I want a my app can go to a first view controller when every time users want it.

So I want to create a function to dismiss all the view controllers, regardless of whether it is pushed in navigation controllers or presented modally or opened anything methods.

I tried various ways, but I failed to dismiss all the view controllers certainly. Is there an easy way?

Solution 1:

Try This :

self.view.window?.rootViewController?.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)

it should dismiss all view controllers above the root view controller.

If that doesn't work than you can manually do that by running a while loop like this.

func dismissViewControllers() {

    guard let vc = self.presentingViewController else { return }

    while (vc.presentingViewController != nil) {
        vc.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
}

It would dismiss all viewControllers until it has a presentingController.

Edit : if you want to dismiss/pop pushed ViewControllers you can use

self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)

Hope it helps.

Solution 2:

If you are using Navigation you can use first one or if you are presenting modally you can second one:

For Navigation

self.navigationController?.popToRootViewController(animated: true)

For Presenting modally

self.view.window!.rootViewController?.dismissViewControllerAnimated(false, completion: nil)
