Get class name of UIViewController in swift

Question

How to get class name of UIViewController Class in swift

In Objective C, we can do something like this :

self.appDelegate = (shAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];     UIViewController *last_screen = self.appDelegate.popScreens.lastObject ;      if(last_screen.class != self.navigationController.visibleViewController.class){      //.......  } 

but in swift I tried like this

let appDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as AppDelegate     let last_screen = appDelegate.popScreens?.lastObject as UIViewController 

cant do this.

if last_screen.class != self.navigationController.visibleViewController.class{  //....  } 

no class method of UIViewController i.e last screen

Answer 1

To know your class name you can call something like this:

var className = NSStringFromClass(yourClass.classForCoder) 

Answer 2

The cleanest way without needing to know the name of your class is like this.

let name = String(describing: type(of: self))
