01-13 Transitioning to Storyboard Button

Okay.
Now, we want to connect up our

button the way we did for the label.

First, let's make a little room for the
button by moving this label up a bit.

And, we'll need to open up our utilities
pane, so we can drag in the button.

There we go.

While we have this utilities pane on
the right open, let's go ahead and

set the titles on this button and label.

To do that, you're going to want to
go to the attributes inspector, and

then you can see,
here's where our title gets set.

We'll just say Click.

And then, for the label, let's just
set it's original text to zero.

Let's close our utilities pane for
now and move this back to the center.

And next up, we're going to set
target action on this button.

First up, let's open up our
view controller file for

a little review on target action.

Recall that the target action
that we added programatically

had three key components.

Its target, which was self, the action,
which was the method increment count,

and the event that would trigger
that action, touch up inside.

So, now, we're going to use
storyboard to tie together these

same three pieces of information.

But first, we need to mark
this method as an IB action

to that it actually
shows up in story board.

Similar to how we did
with the label property.

And, we can close our
assistant editor for now and

focus on story board, and
then move this over a bit.

And, to set our target action,
first we bring up the button's

pop up connections menu,
go down to touch up inside,

drag to our view controller, and choose
the method we want our to be our action.

I'm just going to remove that
target action really quick, so

I can show you how to
make it one other way.

Using the canvas view,
you can still get to this menu.

Go from touch up inside to
the view controller, and

then the method increment count.

And, you can see the three key
components of the target action.

Let's go ahead and run it so
we can see it in action.

And if we click on the button,
we can see our count incrementing.

So, that ought to take
care of click counter.

Remember how our label
had an optional type?

optionals in the first Swift session
