Access static variables within class in Swift

Question

Is ClassName.staticVaribale the only way to access static variable within the class? I want something like self, but for class. Like class.st

Answer 1

In a future Swift 3 version (yet to be released) you can use Self (yes, that's with a capital) to reference to the containing class. A proposal for this was accepted, but the feature is not implemented yet.

For example:

struct CustomStruct {          
 static func staticMethod() { ... } 

 func instanceMethod() {          
   Self.staticMethod() // in the body of the type          
 }          
}
