Filter Array of [AnyObject] in Swift

Question

I have an array of AnyObject objects in Swift. Each object has attributes of a restaurant, such as name, type, loc, etc. How can I filter the array if I want to

Answer 1

Ok, if the array objects contains only Restaurant(s) the following code does work.

Lets say Restaurant is something like this:

enum RestaurantType {
    case Sushi, Japanese, Asian
}

class Restaurant {
    var type = [RestaurantType]()
    // more properties here...
}

First of all lets define an array of Restaurant(s).

var restaurants = objects as [Restaurant]

Then we can filter it:

var sushiRestaurants = restaurants.filter { (restaurant : Restaurant) -> Bool in
    return contains(restaurant.type, .Sushi)
}

---

Update: Now I am assuming objects is an array of PFObject(s) Just ignore my previous code and try this:

var restaurants = objects as [PFObject]
var sushiRestaurants = restaurants.filter { (restaurant : PFObject) -> Bool in
    return contains(restaurant["Type"], "Sushi")
}

Maybe it will crash again, the problem is that I don't know the type of Restaurant.Type. I'm trying. Maybe the next error message will provide more useful info.
