Get Title of current ViewController - ios

Question

I'd like to get the name of the current loaded ViewController as String.
I got this code which is working quite fine:
if let window = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window {
var viewcontroller = window!.rootViewController
if(viewcontroller is UINavigationController){
viewcontroller = (viewcontroller as! UINavigationController).visibleViewController
}
print(String(describing: viewcontroller!))
}
But the result doesn't looks like this:
"MyViewController1"
it looks like this:
<myapplication.MyViewController1: 0x30141e210>
How can I just get the ViewControllers name/title? There must be some more effective method then just split the String between "." and ":".
EDIT: "vc!.nibName" will not work because I'm using the Storyboard!
EDIT 2: This is what the result should look like: "MyViewController1"
EDIT 3: print(viewcontroller?.title) is also not working. It's just returning "nil"
Any help would be very appreciated!

Answer 1

if let titleString = viewController.navigationItem.title {
print(titleString)
}

Answer 2

This function will return the name of the currentViewController:
/// Returns The Class Name Of A Given View Controller
///
/// - Parameter viewController: UIViewController
/// - Returns: String
func classNameFrom(_ viewController: UIViewController) -> String{
let currentViewControllerName = NSStringFromClass(viewController.classForCoder).components(separatedBy: ".").last!
print("Current View Controller = \(currentViewControllerName)")
return currentViewControllerName
}
Which you can call in ViewDidLoad etc:
print(classNameFrom(self))
Second Approach and perhaps a more robust solution:
extension UIViewController {
/// Returns The Top Most ViewController In The Navigation Controller
///
/// - Parameter base: UIViewController
/// - Returns: UIViewController
func topViewController(base: UIViewController? = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController) -> UIViewController? {
if let navigationController = base as? UINavigationController {
return topViewController(base: navigationController.visibleViewController)
}
if let tabBarController = base as? UITabBarController {
if let selected = tabBarController.selectedViewController {
return topViewController(base: selected)
}
}
if let presentedViewController = base?.presentedViewController {
return topViewController(base: presentedViewController)
}
return base
}
/// Returns The Class Name Of A Given View Controller
///
/// - Parameter viewController: UIViewController
/// - Returns: String
func classNameFrom(_ viewController: UIViewController) -> String{
let currentViewControllerName = NSStringFromClass(viewController.classForCoder).components(separatedBy: ".").last!
print("Current View Controller = \(currentViewControllerName)")
return currentViewControllerName
}
}
Which can be called like so:
guard let thisViewController = topViewController(base: self) else { return }
print(classNameFrom(thisViewController))

It looks like nobody understood my question correctly. That's why I now use this "noob" solution:
if let window = UIApplication.shared.delegate?.window {
var viewcontroller = window!.rootViewController
if(viewcontroller is UINavigationController){
viewcontroller = (viewcontroller as! UINavigationController).visibleViewController
}
let viewControllerString = String(describing: viewcontroller!).split(separator: ".")[1].split(separator: ":")[0]
print(viewControllerString)
}
I hope that somebody can answer this question correctly, as long as we will probably have to live with this code lines!
