Generics call with Type T in Swift

Question

In my application I want to create an generic method which creates an array of object depening on the given type T.

I created the following function:

fun         


        

Answer 1

I worked around this by borrowing from the swift runtime function unsafeBitCast.

It's declared as func unsafeBitCast(x: T, _: U.Type) -> U and you can call it as unsafeBitCast(value, MyType).

Applied to your function this would be

func getArray(key:String, _: T.Type) -> T[] {
    // function stays the same
}

And you can call it like this

getArray("key", Document)
