You could use a switch statement. Here is an example I have used:

  func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    let button = DropDownButton()
    switch button {
    case userButton:
        return userButton.dropView.dropDownOptions.count
    case categoryButton:
        return categoryButton.dropView.dropDownOptions.count
    default:
        return 0
    }

Thought it might help somebody, Happy coding
