Create objective-c class instance by name?

Question

Is it possible to create an instance of a class by name? Something like:

NSString* className = @\"Car\";
id* p = [Magic createClassByName:className];
[p turn         


        

Answer 1

@interface Magic : NSObject
+ (id)createInstanceOfClass:(Class)classe;
@end

@implementation Magic

+ (id)createInstanceOfClass:(Class)classe
{
    return [[classe alloc] init];
}

@end

Then to use it:

Car *car = [Magic createInstanceOfClass:[Car class]];
[car engineTurnOn];
