Swift delegate for a generic class

Question

I have a class that needs to call out to a delegate when one of its properties changes. Here are the simplified class and protocol for the delegate:

protocol MyC         


        

Answer 1

It is hard to know what the best solution is to your problem without having more information, but one possible solution is to change your protocol declaration to this:

protocol MyClassDelegate: class {
    func valueChanged(genericClass: MyClass)
}

That removes the need for a typealias in the protocol and should resolve the error messages that you've been getting.

Part of the reason why I'm not sure if this is the best solution for you is because I don't know how or where the valueChanged function is called, and so I don't know if it is practical to add a generic parameter to that function. If this solution doesn't work, post a comment.
