Static imports in swift

Question

In java you can do import static MyClass and you'll be able to access the static methods of MyClass without having to prepend them with the class name:

myMethod() instead of MyClass.myMethod()

Is there a way to do this in swift?

Answer 1

I don´t think you can import a static class like Java, it´s a traditional static in Swift where you call it by class name + variable/function.

class  MyClass {
    static let baseURL = "someURl"

    static func myMethod() {

    }
}

MyClass.baseURL or MyClass. myMethod.

What you can do is to add a typealias to make an alias for your Static class.

private typealias M = MyClass

And then use the following: M.baseURL or M.myMethod.
