Makes transitioning between storyboards possible.

#RBStoryboardLink

##Summary

UIStoryboards are very powerful and useful. However, to make the best use of storyboards, they need to be broken down into natural modules. The problem with having many storyboards is writing the code to transition between them. RBStoryboardLink solves this problem by allowing "pseudo-segues" between UIStoryboards. These segues can be built without leaving Interface Builder and without writing any extra code.

##Dependencies

RBStoryboardLink requires iOS 5.0+ for UIStoryboards and UIViewController Containment.

##How to use

1. Your app's storyboards must first be decomposed into their natural modules. See this guide for some tips.

2. Where ever you want create a transition into a different storyboard, create a UIViewController representing the scene to be pushed.

3. Create the desired segue type (Push, Modal, Custom) to these surrogate view controllers.

4. In the Identity Inspector, change the class type of each surrogate view controller to RBStoryboardLink.

5. While still in the Identity Inspector, add one or two User Defined Runtime Attributes.

6. storyboardName (Required) The name of the storyboard to transition into.

7. sceneIdentifier (Optional) The identifier of the view controller to transition to. If left blank, this will push the first view controller.

##Demos

There are two demos that are provided to show how to use RBStoryboardLink:

1. A standard, straightforward workflow.

2. A tabbed workflow.
