Set title of navigation bar

Swift 4 / XCode 10

1. Add new NavigationBar -> Drap and Drop it to your view

2. Press CTRL to add new Outlet Action

3. Example : @IBOutlet weak var main_navbar: UINavigationBar in ViewController class.

4. Then set the title : main_navbar.topItem?.title = "YOUR TITLE"

This solution worked for me, hope it does for you too. - rust

There are plenty of methods which you can follow to achieve this. Here is few of those.

First things first.

If you are ready to "Embed in" a navigation controller or if you have already one then you can access that using following code.

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Your Title"

Now for more customization:

1. Place a UINavigationBar object on ViewController scene and add constraints to it.

2. Make an outlet of newly placed UINavigationBar like as follows -

   @IBOutlet weak var orderStatusNavigationbar: UINavigationBar!
   

3. Now set the title using the outlet.

   orderStatusNavigationbar.topItem?.title = "Your Title"
   

All this above code are in Swift 3 but will work on lower versions of Swift also(atleast on Swift 2.0)

Hope this helped.

For Swift 3:

If you want to set just the navigation title without using a UINavigationController then make an outlet of the navigation item as

 @IBOutlet weak var navItem: UINavigationItem!

and then in viewDidLoad() write

navItem.title = "ANY TITLE"

To set Title on NavigationBar simply we can do by below code

self.title = "Your Title"
