Useful for String to Int and other type

extension String {
        //Converts String to Int
        public func toInt() -> Int? {
            if let num = NumberFormatter().number(from: self) {
                return num.intValue
            } else {
                return nil
            }
        }

        //Converts String to Double
        public func toDouble() -> Double? {
            if let num = NumberFormatter().number(from: self) {
                return num.doubleValue
            } else {
                return nil
            }
        }

        /// EZSE: Converts String to Float
        public func toFloat() -> Float? {
            if let num = NumberFormatter().number(from: self) {
                return num.floatValue
            } else {
                return nil
            }
        }

        //Converts String to Bool

        }
    }

Use it like :

"123".toInt() // 123
