Lesson in the iOS Roadmap · Stage 11: UIKit

What is IBActions?

IBActions connect UI controls in Interface Builder to methods in code that run when a user interacts with a control. Declaring a method with @IBAction allows it to be wired to a button, gesture recognizer, or other control in a Storyboard or XIB. When the user triggers the control, UIKit calls the connected method.
