Swift - How to hide back button in navigation item?

Right now I have two view controllers. My problem is I don't know how to hide the back button after transitioning to the second view controller. Most references that I found are in Objective-C. How do I code it in Swift?

Hide back button code in Objective-C

[self.navigationItem setHidesBackButton:YES animated:YES];

Try with below code in **viewWillAppear** method.

> self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)



Read below link for more support.

put the below code in `viewWillAppear` method.

navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true

In SwiftUI

```swift
.navigationBarBackButtonHidden(true)
```

```swift
self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false)
```

According to the [documentation](

) for `UINavigationItem` :

self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)

In case you're using a `UITabBarController`:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.tabBarController?.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
}

Put it in the `viewDidLoad` method
```
navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
```

That worked for me in Swift 5 like a charm,
just add it to your viewDidLoad()

self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: true)

Here is a version of the answer in <h2>Swift 5</h2> that you can use it from the storyboard:


```swift
// MARK: - Hiding Back Button

extension UINavigationItem {

/// A Boolean value that determines whether the back button is hidden.
///
/// When set to `true`, the back button is hidden when this navigation item
/// is the top item. This is true regardless of the value in the
/// `leftItemsSupplementBackButton` property. When set to `false`, the back button
/// is shown if it is still present. (It can be replaced by values in either
/// the `leftBarButtonItem` or `leftBarButtonItems` properties.) The default value is `false`.
@IBInspectable var hideBackButton: Bool {
get { hidesBackButton }
set { hidesBackButton = newValue }
}
}
```

Every navigation item of a view controller will have this new property in the top section of attributes inspector
