AnyObject
官方api中AnyObject的介绍分为三方面内容，看完相信你会有所收获
The protocol to which all classes implicitly conform. //隐含类型确认协议
You use AnyObject
when you need the flexibility of an untyped object or when you use bridged Objective-C methods and properties that return an untyped result. AnyObject
can be used as the concrete type for an instance of any class, class type, or class-only protocol. 当你需要灵活的类型或者当你调用返回未知类型结果的oc方法和属性时，你需要使用AnyObject。 AnyObject可以作为任何类，类的类型（type），或者是类协议的有型的类型来使用。 For example: //例如
class FloatRef {
let value: Float
init(_ value: Float) {
self.value = value
}
}
let x = FloatRef(2.3)
let y: AnyObject = x
let z: AnyObject = FloatRef.self
AnyObject
can also be used as the concrete type for an instance of a type that bridges to an Objective-C class. Many value types in Swift bridge to Objective-C counterparts, like String and Int
. AnyObject也可以被用作为一个oc对象的有型的类型。swift中的许多值类型和oc里面的是相通的，比如String 和 Int。
let s: AnyObject = "This is a bridged string." as NSString
print(s is NSString)
// Prints "true"
let v: AnyObject = 100 as NSNumber
print(type(of: v))
// Prints "__NSCFNumber"
The flexible behavior of the AnyObject protocol is similar to Objective-C’s id type. For this reason, imported Objective-C types frequently use AnyObject as the type for properties, method parameters, and return values. AnyObject协议的灵活性与oc中的id是类似的。由于这个原因，AnyObject被频繁地作为oc类的属性、方法参数的类型来使用
Casting AnyObject Instances to a Known Type //抛出AnyObject对象给一个已知类型
Objects with a concrete type of AnyObject maintain a specific dynamic type and can be cast to that type using one of the type-cast operators (as, as?,or as!). This example uses the conditional downcast operator (as?) to conditionally cast the s constant declared above to an instance of Swift’s String type. 固定的类型的AnyObject对象具有一个具体的动态类型，并且可以使用(as, as?, or as!)被抛向那个具体的类型。下面的例子使用(as?)抛向上面声明的Swift中String 类型的对象s
if let message = s as? String {
print("Successful cast to String: \(message)")
}
// Prints "Successful cast to String: This is a bridged string."
If you have prior knowledge that an AnyObject instance has a particular type, you can use the unconditional downcast operator (as!). Performing an invalid cast triggers a runtime error.
如果你事先知AnyObject 对象的详细类型，可以使用 (as!)。执行无效的抛向操作会引起运行时错误。
let message = s as! String
print("Successful cast to String: \(message)")
// Prints "Successful cast to String: This is a bridged string."
let badCase = v as! String
// Runtime error
Casting is always safe in the context of a switch statement. 但在switch语句中抛向操作是不会引起运行时错误的。
let mixedArray: [AnyObject] = [s, v]
for object in mixedArray {
switch object {
case let x as String:
print("'\(x)' is a String")
default:
print("'\(object)' is not a String")
}
}
// Prints "'This is a bridged string.' is a String"
// Prints "'100' is not a String"
Accessing Objective-C Methods and Properties //访问OC方法和属性
When you use AnyObject as a concrete type, you have at your disposal every @objc method and property—that is, methods and properties imported from Objective-C or marked with the @objc attribute. Because Swift can’t guarantee at compile time that these methods and properties are actually available on an AnyObject instance’s underlying type, these @objc symbols are available as implicitly unwrapped optional methods and properties, respectively.
当你使用 AnyObject 作为一个有型的类型，你必须处理每一个带 @objc 标记或者来自于oc的方法和属性。因为Swift不能保证 潜在类型的AnyObject
对象的这些方法和属性是真正可用，带有@objc 标记的方法和属性会分别在暗中被解绑。
This example defines an IntegerRef type with an @objc method named getIntegerValue()
. 这个例子定义了一个IntegerRef ，它有一个标记了@objc 方法 getIntegerValue()
class IntegerRef {
let value: Int
init(_ value: Int) {
self.value = value
}
@objc func getIntegerValue() -> Int {
return value
}
}
func getObject() -> AnyObject {
return IntegerRef(100)
}
let obj: AnyObject = getObject()
In the example, obj has a static type of AnyObject and a dynamic type of IntegerRef . You can use optional chaining to call the @objc method getIntegerValue() on obj safely. If you’re sure of the dynamic type of obj
, you can call getIntegerValue() directly.
这个例子中 ocj有一个AnyObject静态类型和一个IntegerRef动态类型。 你可以使用可选链通过 obj调用带有 @objc标记的方法getIntegerValue()。如果你确定obj的动态类型，你可以直接调用。
let possibleValue = obj.getIntegerValue?()
print(possibleValue)
// Prints "Optional(100)"
let certainValue = obj.getIntegerValue()
print(certainValue)
// Prints "100"
If the dynamic type of obj doesn’t implement a getIntegerValue() method, the system returns a runtime error when you initialize certainValue
. Alternatively, if you need to test whether obj.getIntegerValue()
exists, use optional binding before calling the method.
如果动态类型obj 没有getIntegerValue() 方法，当你初始化certainValue 的时候，系统会出现运行时错误。除非，你调用这个方法之前，先使用可选的绑定检验下obj.getIntegerValue() 是否存在
if let f = obj.getIntegerValue {
print("The value of 'obj' is \(f())")
} else {
print("'obj' does not have a 'getIntegerValue()' method")
}
// Prints "The value of 'obj' is 100"
