how to call a method of multiple arguments with delay

Question

I\'m trying to call a method after some delay.

I know there is a solution for that:

[self performSelector:@selector(myMethod) withObject:nil afterDel

Here is how you can trigger a block after a delay in Swift:

runThisAfterDelay(seconds: 5) { () -> () in
    print("Prints this 5 seconds later in main queue")
    //Or perform your selector here
}

/// EZSwiftExtensions
func runThisAfterDelay(seconds seconds: Double, after: () -> ()) {
    let time = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, Int64(seconds * Double(NSEC_PER_SEC)))
    dispatch_after(time, dispatch_get_main_queue(), after)
}

The argument count does not really matter.

Its included as a standard function in my repo: https://github.com/goktugyil/EZSwiftExtensions
