Accessing class type from instance

Question

I can't seem to find a way to do it. In Objective C it's possible using:

someInstance.class.SomeComputedClassVariable

I checked this question, but there's a compiler error stating Class_Name does not have a member named SomeComputedClassVariable, even though it is defined.

Answer 1

I found the answer, thanks to the mentioned post.

someInstance.dynamicType.SomeComputedClassVariable

Answer 2

You can also use reflect to get the class name of an instance:

class SomeClass {
}

println(reflect(SomeClass()).summary)
