AnyObjectConvertible

Convert your own struct/enum to AnyObject easily.

Sumally

We can cast everything as AnyObject at Swift3.0 🎉
So, we would not need this library no longer

In swift, struct or enum cannot convert to AnyObject

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("foo", object:YourOwnStruct()) // Fail

Of course, you may wrap value using Box<T>.

classBox<T>{letvalue:Tinit(value:T){self.value = value
}}NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("foo", object:Box(value:YourOwnStruct())) // OK

But Box<T> unwrap is too lazy.

letvalue=(notification.object as?Box<YourOwnStruct>)?.value

You can cast your struct/enum directory if implement AnyObjectConvertible at that type.

extensionYourOwnStruct:AnyObjectConvertible{}NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("foo", object:YourOwnStruct()) // OK
letvalue= notification.object as?YourOwnStruct

Installation

CocoaPods

You can use CocoaPods to install AnyObjectConvertible by adding it to your Podfile:
