Access to custom Obj-C category from Swift

Question

I'm trying to access this custom obj-C category in Swift file:

#import "NSString+UUID.h"

@implementation NSString (UUIDCategory)

+ (NSString*)stringWithUUID 
{
    CFUUIDRef uuid = CFUUIDCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault);
    NSString *string = (NSString*)CFMakeCollectable(CFUUIDCreateString(kCFAllocatorDefault, uuid));
    CFRelease(uuid);
    return [string autorelease];    
}

@end

So, I added :

#import "NSString+UUID.h" 

in my bridging header, but can't find a solution to use it.

var string = NSString.stringWithUUID()

EDIT: the code seems to work now (the problem was I didn't include #import Foundation/Foundation.h in my bridging header before importing my categories.

This is a factory method and Swift will create an initializer for you automatically!

You should be able to use it like this:

 let string = NSString(UUID:uuid)

Off topic, but you should really adopt ARC :]
