JASidepanels not showing navigationbutton

Question

I am trying to implement the JASidePanels in my project using storyboard. You can see my storyboard over here.

enter image description here

The problem is that I don't see the button in the navigationbar to reveal the leftpanel. In my RootViewController I've this in code.

-(void) awakeFromNib
{
    [self setLeftPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"leftViewController"]];
    [self setCenterPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"centerViewController"]];
    [self setRightPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"rightViewController"]];
        self.shouldResizeLeftPanel = YES;
    self.shouldResizeRightPanel = YES;
    [self setRightFixedWidth:300.0f];
    [self setLeftFixedWidth:300.0f];

}

I've followed the steps that they say on the github page. Also when I try to embed the RootviewController inside a navigationController. It is showing the navigationBar but not the barbutton item.

Any help on this ?

Embed your center UIViewController in storyBoard into UINavigationController, for example:

Select UIViewController on StoryBoard
Select Xcode menu item Editor - Embed In - Navigation Controller
Select new UINavigationController's Identity Inspector (Alt-Command-3)
Give unique name to StoryBoard ID e.g. myCenterController
Use that name to create center panel

[self setCenterPanel:[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"myCenterController"]];

So you don't actually set viewController as centerPanel, but a navigation controller containing your viewController.

Well, I'm using swift 2.2 and I couldn't either see the navigation button.

I'm using storyboards; so I created:

MainViewController -> this is going to be the main container
LeftMenuViewController -> this is the left menu
ProductsViewController -> this is going to be inside MainViewController

So in MainViewController, I set up my VC as follows:

self.leftPanel = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("LeftMenuViewController") //for left menu and

self.centerPanel = UINavigationController.init(rootViewController: (self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ProductsViewController"))!)

Adding UINavigationController.init will solve the problem, and you will see the navigation button in the center panel.
