How to use Any in Codable Type

Question

I\'m currently working with Codable types in my project and facing an issue.

struct Person: Codable
{
    var id: Any
}

Answer 1

Codable needs to know the type to cast to.

Firstly I would try to address the issue of not knowing the type, see if you can fix that and make it simpler.

Otherwise the only way I can think of solving your issue currently is to use generics like below.

struct Person {
    var id: T
    var name: String
}

let person1 = Person(id: 1, name: "John")
let person2 = Person(id: "two", name: "Steve")
