mirror's Issues

Expect more features

You have realized the following functions，thanks：
mirror.isClass
mirror.isStruct

But we may need more good features, such as：
mirror.isArray
mirror.isOptional

Create new instance from Mirror

Something like this would be great:

struct Person {
  let name: String
  var age: Int
}

var person = Person(name: "Jon", age: 27)
var mirror = Mirror(person)
// make some changes to mirror
var person2 = Person(mirror: mirror) // a modified version of Jon

A mirror child items should be also a Mirror items

When I get a Mirror child I want to be able to use all the same methods as on original mirror
Example:

struct A {
 let a = 10
}

struct B {
 let x = [1, 2, 3]
 let a:  A()

let m = Mirror(B())
let ar = m.children[0]
ar.isArray
... etc 

set a value with KVC or subscript notation

Add ability to set or update values of a mirrored instance,
var mirror = Mirror(...)
mirror["name"] = "Jon"

can you support Accurate property’s type?

for example,i have a Class,

Class Person{
  var name: String
  var age: Int
  var friend: [Person]
}

you had support the properties’s normal types
but, if properties’s type is [CustomClass], or [CustomClass]? ,your type is not Accurate

can you add a isArray for properties?

english is pool, sorry,,,,,,,thanks!!!!!!!

Not supported for Swift 2.0

Not supported for Swift 2.0.

Thanks~

Support for latest Swift/Xcode beta

An updated Swift 2.0 branch would be fantastic.

Great work!

typesShortName is sth wrong

if my class has any optional properties,your typesShortName is not work well:

such as:

class Person{
    var name: String?
    var age: Int?
    var dog: Dog?
    var dogs: [Dog]?
}

class Dog {
}

then,i use Mirror，

let p1 = Person()
let mirror = Mirror(p1)
println(mirror.typesShortName)

print msg like this:

[String>, Int>, Dog>, Dog>>]

i want,the result is like this:

[String, Int, Dog, [Dog]]

or

[String, Int, Dog, Array]

oh, i need optional property, and optional Array property，can you support it ?? thank you!!!

New update is not compilable

Hello!
Today I stuck with an issue after swift-2-old branch was dropped. Some Mirror's declaration don't work anymore, Ex:

1. let itemMirror: Mirror? doesnt compile
   https://gyazo.com/b5efc0486eaf7db664f5353661c4772b

if let value = itemMirror[param] where value is String {
return value as? String
} (type Mirror doesn't have subscript members))
https://gyazo.com/9547f3b03852993d1d49b675ad0f3a44

What can be the reason? Thank you.

Mirror a Class ,not a instance

you see,

a Class ,has it’s properties,but，to get it’s properties,i need init a instance.

can you support Mirror a Class directly?

like this:

let mirror = Mirror(Student)

thank you!!!

Element type of empty array?

With your mirror framework, is it possible to get the Element type of an empty array?

let a:Array = []

And then get String somehow?
