How to create a Swift object in Objective-C?

Question

If you define a swift class like this

@objc class Cat {

}

In swift you can just do

var c = Cat()

But how

Answer 1

The most direct way is to subclass Cat from NSObject. If you can't do that, you will need to make a class method or a function that returns a Cat.

@objc class Cat {
    class func create() -> Cat {
        return Cat()
    }
}
func CreateCat() -> Cat {
    return Cat()
}


Cat *cat = [Cat create];
Cat *cat = CreateCat();
