Can I make #selector refer to a closure in Swift?

Question

I want to make a selector argument of my method refer to a closure property, both of them exist in the same scope. For example,

func backgroundC         


        

Answer 1

So my answer to having a selector be assigned to a closure in a swift like manner is similar to some of the answers already, but I thought I would share a real life example of how I did it within a UIViewController extension.

fileprivate class BarButtonItem: UIBarButtonItem {
  var actionCallback: ( () -> Void )?
  func buttonAction() {
    actionCallback?()
  }
}

fileprivate extension Selector {
  static let onBarButtonAction = #selector(BarButtonItem.buttonAction)
}

extension UIViewController {
  func createBarButtonItem(title: String, action: @escaping () -> Void ) -> UIBarButtonItem {
    let button = BarButtonItem(title: title, style: .plain, target nil, action: nil)
    button.actionCallback = action
    button.action = .onBarButtonAction
    return button
  }
}

// Example where button is inside a method of a UIViewController 
// and added to the navigationItem of the UINavigationController

let button = createBarButtonItem(title: "Done"){
  print("Do something when done")
}

navigationItem.setLeftbarButtonItems([button], animated: false)
