How would I create a slide menu on a Tab Bar Button tap (swift)

Question

I am using the SWRevealViewController library and have set my respective views to 'sw_rear' and 'sw_front'. I know how to create a side menu if it was activated by a bar button item tap as such:

menuButton.target = self.revealViewController() 
menuButton.action = "revealToggle:"

I am trying to implement a version where the user taps the very right tab bar item and the side menu appears.

I dont know how to set a target and action for this to happen though.

same way you did it with the menuButton.. just add a target and action to the right tab bar item as self.revealViewController() and "revealToggle:" — MSU_Bulldog, Jun 09 '16 at 19:30
You can't add action to a tab bar item. Maybe this will help http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7575430/set-up-an-action-with-a-tab-bar-item-iphone — srvv, Jun 09 '16 at 19:33
I tried using the tabBar method didSelectItem but there are no properties of the tabBar item to add a target and action — mike157, Jun 09 '16 at 19:34

Instead of UITabBar, I used UIToolBar to achieve this. I placed bar button items on UIToolBar and called these methods.

//for right most bar button item
menuButton.target = self.revealViewController() 
menuButton.action = "rightRevealToggle:"
