`UIViewController` have `storyboard: UIStoryboard?` property from which the view controller originated. Do you looking for it or for something else? – Yury Jun 21 '16 at 14:27

The storyboard name is the name of the .storyboard file itself, but without the .storyboard extension.
The UIViewController's storyboard ID cannot be gotten, unless you have the restoration ID set to the storyboard ID and then you use
self.restorationIdentifier

I got nil when I try print(self.restorationIdentifier) inside of viewDidLoad() – user584819 Jun 22 '16 at 13:32

1@user584819 In the interface builder, is the "Use storyboard ID" checked? – Code Jun 22 '16 at 13:34

To get the name of a storyboard, just go to your storyboard file, and don't click on any of the View Controllers. Open up the File Inspector, and on the first tab, at the top it will have your name (ie. "Main.storyboard"). It's also just the file name typically. However, the best way to get at a storyboard is just to get at the storyboard property.
