How do you check current view controller class in Swift?

Question

As far as I know, this would work in Objective-C:

self.window.rootViewController.class == myViewController

How can I check if the current v

Answer 1

For types you can use is and if it is your own viewcontroller class then you need to use isKindOfClass like:

let vcOnTop = self.embeddedNav.viewControllers[self.embeddedNav.viewControllers.count-1]
            if vcOnTop.isKindOfClass(VcShowDirections){
                return
            }

Answer 2

Try this

if self is MyViewController {        

}

Not sure about you guys, but I'm having a hard time with this one. I did something like this:

if let window = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window {
    if var viewController = window?.rootViewController {
        // handle navigation controllers
        if(viewController is UINavigationController){
            viewController = (viewController as! UINavigationController).visibleViewController!
        }
        print(viewController)
    }
}

I kept getting the initial view controller of my app. For some reason it wanted to stay the root view controller no matter what. So I just made a global string type variable currentViewController and set its value myself in each viewDidLoad(). All I needed was to tell which screen I was on & this works perfectly for me.
