Similar as in Using 'self' in class extension functions in Swift, you can define a generic helper method which infers the type of self from the calling context:
extension UIViewController
{
class func instantiateFromStoryboard(storyboardName: String, storyboardId: String) -> Self
{
return instantiateFromStoryboardHelper(storyboardName, storyboardId: storyboardId)
}
private class func instantiateFromStoryboardHelper<T>(storyboardName: String, storyboardId: String) -> T
{
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: storyboardName, bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier(storyboardId) as! T
return controller
}
}
然后
let vc = MyViewController.instantiateFromStoryboard("name", storyboardId: "id")
编译,类型推断为MyViewController
.
更新为Swift 3:
extension UIViewController
{
class func instantiateFromStoryboard(storyboardName: String, storyboardId: String) -> Self
{
return instantiateFromStoryboardHelper(storyboardName: storyboardName, storyboardId: storyboardId)
}
private class func instantiateFromStoryboardHelper<T>(storyboardName: String, storyboardId: String) -> T
{
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: storyboardName, bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardId) as! T
return controller
}
}
另一种可能的解决方案是使用unsafeDowncast
:
extension UIViewController
{
class func instantiateFromStoryboard(storyboardName: String, storyboardId: String) -> Self
{
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: storyboardName, bundle: nil)
let controller = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: storyboardId)
return unsafeDowncast(controller, to: self)
}
}
