How to declare a Class property in objective-c?

Question

Like this:

@property Class praise_usersClass;

it's right?

`@property (nonatomic, strong) ClassName *praise_usersClass;` — Tim007, Mar 31 '16 at 11:53
I guess it should be like that since you can't release a `Class` @property(unsafe_unretained,nomatomic) Class praise_usersClass; — Andrea, Mar 31 '16 at 12:10
Do you mean class level properties, like static properties, which are attached to the class itself rather than an instance? If so, take a look at here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/695980/how-do-i-declare-class-level-properties-in-objective-c — Dániel Nagy, Mar 31 '16 at 12:47

In Objective-C, Class is a pointer type and essentially also an object. So you can define a property as type Class just like any other object but you do not need to specify the pointer as it is part of the typedef definition.

Your example is fine:

@property Class praise_usersClass;

But FYI, note that you haven't specified any attributes so the defaults will apply:

@property (atomic,strong,readwrite) Class praise_usersClass;

For more information: Are classes structs or struct pointer
