Better type support for Swift

[cjwirth]

I was using this in my app, and I was having difficulties with using the subscripting to get/set block route handlers. This is because the subscript method returns id, which in Swift was coming up as AnyObject. It wasn't let me cast the return value to DPLRouteHandlerBlock, because closures aren't objects.

There is probably some elegant solution that I didn't think of, but I just ended up writing a wrapper around it

You can use - (void)registerBlock:(DPLRouteHandlerBlock)routeHandlerBlock forRoute:(NSString *)route.

@cjwirth If you have anything that you think could be contribute-able back, would love to see a pull request. Better Swift support is definitely something that we'd like to do soon!

Can I see a code sample for this pls? I've been struggling with this and can't get it to work. This is what I have:

AppDelegate:

    func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
        self.router = DPLDeepLinkRouter()
        self.router.registerHandlerClass(PostRouteHandler.self, forRoute: "/post/:slug")

        return true
    }

PostRouteHandler:

public class PostRouteHandler: DPLRouteHandler {

    override public func targetViewController() -> UIViewController {
        return PostDetailController()
    }

}

PostDetailController:

class PostDetailController: UIViewController, DPLTargetViewController {
    func configureWithDeepLink(deepLink: DPLDeepLink!) {
        if let slug = deepLink.routeParameters["slug"] as? String {
            // Do something
        }
    }
}

My breakpoint in configureWithDeepLink just won't hit when going to mydpl://post/my-slug.

You don't need the first /

self.router.registerHandlerClass(PostRouteHandler.self, forRoute: "post/:slug")

[chrismaddern]

Anything after the first / in an incoming URL is considered part of the path, in this case, post is actually the host... just another way that URLs aren't perfectly designed for deep linking ;)

@platedbay is right.. remove the first / and you should be good.

Ahh silly mistake, it worked! I copied the samples /product/:sku route but I guess that wasn't what I thought. Thanks! I hope the sample helps someone else ;)
