// Let's define a basic Swift class. | |
class Fruit { | |
var type=1 | |
var name="Apple" | |
var delicious=true | |
} | |
// We can get at some info about an instance of an object using reflect(), which returns a Mirror. | |
reflect(Fruit()).count | |
reflect(Fruit())[1].0 | |
reflect(Fruit())[1].1.summary | |
// Dump a bunch of info about the object using reflection. | |
dump(Fruit()) | |
// Let's make an instance and print all its properties to the console. | |
var theFruit=Fruit() | |
for var index=0; index<reflect(theFruit).count; ++index { | |
println(reflect(theFruit)[index].0 + ": "+reflect(theFruit)[index].1.summary) | |
} |
Is there a way set the value? I know
reflect(Fruit())[1].1.value = ...
Doesn't work and
theFruit.setValue(..., forKey:reflect(Fruit())[1].0)
Is not reliable
It real if your object is subclass of NSObject
hey i am trying to use reflect on a class that extends View Class like this 😄
class ViewMediator : SKView {
the count of properties is 0, i am looking for a way to make an Automated Injection in Swift

Note: attempting to "let" the result of reflect() (a Mirror object) into a variable while using the Playground will result in a big "letdown." Get it? Letdown? Heh heh heh... but yeah, it'll fail.
