Expanding on juangdelvalle's answer.

I added this as an extension so that it's reusable and easier to call from any view controller. Also in some cases NSStringFromClass in Swift returns a string in the format like this:

< project name >.viewControllerClassName.

This extension property is modified to get rid of the project name prefix and return only the class name.

extension UIViewController {
    var className: String {
        NSStringFromClass(self.classForCoder).components(separatedBy: ".").last!
    }
}
