Swift 4

Suppose we have class with name HomeViewController. Then you can get name of class with the following code:

let class_name = "\(HomeViewController.classForCoder())"

The classForCoder() method returns AnyClass object (name of your class) which we convert to string for user.

To know your class name you can call something like this:

var className = NSStringFromClass(yourClass.classForCoder)
