我试着用Swift 3在Playground中输入(…)这是我的结果。 这是代码格式版本。

print(String(describing: type(of: UIButton.self)))
print(String(describing: type(of: UIButton())))
UIButton.Type
UIButton

我建议这样的方法(非常Swifty):

// Swift 3
func typeName(_ some: Any) -> String {
    return (some is Any.Type) ? "\(some)" : "\(type(of: some))"
}

// Swift 2
func typeName(some: Any) -> String {
    return (some is Any.Type) ? "\(some)" : "\(some.dynamicType)"
}

它既不使用内省，也不使用手动提取(没有魔法!)

下面是一个演示:

// Swift 3

import class Foundation.NSObject

func typeName(_ some: Any) -> String {
    return (some is Any.Type) ? "\(some)" : "\(type(of: some))"
}

class GenericClass<T> {
    var x: T? = nil
}

protocol Proto1 {
    func f(x: Int) -> Int
}


@objc(ObjCClass1)
class Class1: NSObject, Proto1 {
    func f(x: Int) -> Int {
        return x
    }
}

struct Struct1 {
    var x: Int
}

enum Enum1 {
    case X
}

print(typeName(GenericClass<Int>.self)) // GenericClass<Int>
print(typeName(GenericClass<Int>()))  // GenericClass<Int>

print(typeName(Proto1.self)) // Proto1

print(typeName(Class1.self))   // Class1
print(typeName(Class1())) // Class1
print(typeName(Class1().f)) // (Int) -> Int

print(typeName(Struct1.self)) // Struct1
print(typeName(Struct1(x: 1))) // Struct1
print(typeName(Enum1.self)) // Enum1
print(typeName(Enum1.X)) // Enum1

要在Swift 4中获得类型名为字符串(我没有检查早期版本)，只需使用字符串插值:

"\(type(of: myViewController))"

你可以在类型本身上使用.self，在实例上使用type(of:_)函数:

// Both constants will have "UIViewController" as their value
let stringFromType = "\(UIViewController.self)"
let stringFromInstance = "\(type(of: UIViewController()))"

斯威夫特5

下面是将typeName作为变量获取的扩展(使用值类型或引用类型)。

protocol NameDescribable {
    var typeName: String { get }
    static var typeName: String { get }
}

extension NameDescribable {
    var typeName: String {
        return String(describing: type(of: self))
    }

    static var typeName: String {
        return String(describing: self)
    }
}

使用方法:

// Extend with class/struct/enum...
extension NSObject: NameDescribable {}
extension Array: NameDescribable {}
extension UIBarStyle: NameDescribable { }

print(UITabBarController().typeName)
print(UINavigationController.typeName)
print([Int]().typeName)
print(UIBarStyle.typeName)

// Out put:
UITabBarController
UINavigationController
Array<Int>
UIBarStyle

来自实例的字符串:

String(describing: self)

类型中的字符串:

String(describing: YourType.self)

例子:

struct Foo {

    // Instance Level
    var typeName: String {
        return String(describing: Foo.self)
    }

    // Instance Level - Alternative Way
    var otherTypeName: String {
        let thisType = type(of: self)
        return String(describing: thisType)
    }

    // Type Level
    static var typeName: String {
        return String(describing: self)
    }

}

Foo().typeName       // = "Foo"
Foo().otherTypeName  // = "Foo"
Foo.typeName         // = "Foo"

用类、结构和enum测试。

你可以试试这种方法:

self.classForCoder.description()
