You can just add a computed property to your struct to return a Dictionary with your values. Note that Swift native dictionary type doesn’t have any method called value(forKey:). You would need to cast your Dictionary to NSDictionary:
struct Test {
let name: String
let age: Int
let height: Double
var dictionary: [String: Any] {
return ["name": name,
"age": age,
"height": height]
}
var nsDictionary: NSDictionary {
return dictionary as NSDictionary
}
}
You can also extend Encodable protocol as suggested at the linked answer posted by @ColGraff to make it universal to all Encodable structs:
struct JSON {
static let encoder = JSONEncoder()
}
extension Encodable {
subscript(key: String) -> Any? {
return dictionary[key]
}
var dictionary: [String: Any] {
return (try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: JSON.encoder.encode(self))) as? [String: Any] ?? [:]
}
}
struct Test: Codable {
let name: String
let age: Int
let height: Double
}
let test = Test(name: "Alex", age: 30, height: 170)
test["name"] // Alex
test["age"] // 30
test["height"] // 170
