I need static variable identifier to UIViewController that gets self Storyboard ID



extension UIViewController {
static var identifier: String {
return self.restorationIdentifier
}
}


so I can do MyOwnViewController.identifier from other classes

  • Why not use MyOwnViewController.restorationIdentifier?

  • It isn't clear what you are trying to achieve; The restorationIdentifer (and a Storyboard ID if it was exposed as a property, which it isn't) has a per-instance value, so it doesn't make sense to try and evaluate it in a class context. You can define a UIViewController subclass or a protocol (which is more Swifty) that your view controllers adopt in order to expose a property that you need.
