I figure out how to do this right. Something like:
protocol DecodableFromAny {
static func fromAny(_ payload:Any) -> Self?
}
extension Array : DecodableFromAny {
static func fromAny(_ payload: Any) -> Array? {
if let x = payload as? [Array.Element] {
return x
}
return nil
}
}
func decodeMe<T>(_ payload:Any) -> T? {
if let dt = T.self as? DecodableFromAny {
return type(of: dt).fromAny(payload) as! T
} else {
return payload as? T
}
}
I got tripped up not realizing I could cast “T.self” to the protocol, and then
call it once i invoked type(of:) on that. much much nicer this way.
