How to pass data using NotificationCenter in swift 3.0 and NSNotificationCenter in swift 2.0?

问题

I\'m implementing socket.io in my swift ios app.

Currently on several panels I\'m listening to the server and wait for incoming messages. I\'m doing so by calling the getChatMessage function in each panel:

func getChatMessage(){
    SocketIOManager.sharedInstance.getChatMessage { (messageInfo) -> Void in
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
            //do sth depending on which panel user is
        })
    }
}

However I noticed it\'s a wrong approach and I need to change it - now I want to start listening for incoming messages only once and when any message comes - pass this message to any panel that listens to it.

So I want to pass the incoming message through the NSNotificationCenter. So far I was able to pass the information that something happened, but not pass the data itself. I was doing that by:

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(ViewController.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: showSpinner, object: nil)

then I had a function called:

func showSpinningWheel(notification: NSNotification) {
}

and any time I wanted to call it I was doing:

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(hideSpinner, object: self)

So how can I pass the object messageInfo and include it in the function that gets called?

Swift 2.0

Pass info using userInfo which is a optional Dictionary of type [NSObject : AnyObject]?

  let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

  // Post a notification
  NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName(notificationName, object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict)

 // Register to receive notification in your class
 NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: notificationName, object: nil)

 // handle notification
 func showSpinningWheel(notification: NSNotification) {
  if let image = notification.userInfo?["image"] as? UIImage {
  // do something with your image   
  }
 }

Swift 3.0 version

The userInfo now takes [AnyHashable:Any]? as an argument, which we provide as a dictionary literal in Swift

  let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

  // post a notification
  NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict) 
  // `default` is now a property, not a method call

 // Register to receive notification in your class
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)

 // handle notification
 func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {

  if let image = notification.userInfo?["image"] as? UIImage {
  // do something with your image   
  }
 }

NOTE: Notification “names” are no longer strings, but are of type Notification.Name, hence why we are using NSNotification.Name(rawValue:"notificationName") and we can extend Notification.Name with our own custom notifications.

extension Notification.Name {
static let myNotification = Notification.Name("myNotification")
}

// and post notification like this
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .myNotification, object: nil)

For Swift 3

let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

  // post a notification
  NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict) 
  // `default` is now a property, not a method call

 // Register to receive notification in your class
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)

 // handle notification
 func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {
        print(notification.userInfo ?? "")
        if let dict = notification.userInfo as NSDictionary? {
            if let id = dict["image"] as? UIImage{
                // do something with your image
            }
        }
 }

For Swift 4

let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

  // post a notification
  NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict) 
  // `default` is now a property, not a method call

 // Register to receive notification in your class
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)

 // handle notification
 @objc func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {
        print(notification.userInfo ?? "")
        if let dict = notification.userInfo as NSDictionary? {
            if let id = dict["image"] as? UIImage{
                // do something with your image
            }
        }
 }

Hello @sahil I update your answer for swift 3

let imageDataDict:[String: UIImage] = ["image": image]

  // post a notification
  NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil, userInfo: imageDataDict) 
  // `default` is now a property, not a method call

 // Register to receive notification in your class
 NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.showSpinningWheel(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "notificationName"), object: nil)

 // handle notification
 func showSpinningWheel(_ notification: NSNotification) {
        print(notification.userInfo ?? "")
        if let dict = notification.userInfo as NSDictionary? {
            if let id = dict["image"] as? UIImage{
                // do something with your image
            }
        }
 }

Hope it's helpful. Thanks

let dictionary = self.convertStringToDictionary(responceString)
NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name(rawValue: "SOCKET_UPDATE"), object: dictionary)

In swift 4.2 I used following code to show and hide code using NSNotification

 @objc func keyboardWillShow(notification: NSNotification) {
    if let keyboardSize = (notification.userInfo? [UIResponder.keyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey] as? NSValue)?.cgRectValue {
        let keyboardheight = keyboardSize.height
        print(keyboardheight)
    }
}
