Custom class archiving in Swift

Question

I would like to archive and unarchive a custom object in swift, something like this:

class Line : NSObject, NSCoding  {

    var start : CGPoint


    init(start _start: CGPoint) {
        start = _start
    }

    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        // 1 - compile time error
        self.start = aDecoder.decodeObjectForKey("start") as CGPoint
    }

    override init() {
    }

    func encodeWithCoder(aCoder: NSCoder) {
        // 2 - compile time error
        aCoder.encodeObject(start, forKey: "start")
    }
}

The 1. compile time error is: Type 'CGPoint' does not conform to protocol 'AnyObject'

The 2. compile time error is: Extra argument 'forKey' in call

How to archive and unarchive a CGPoint, I know CGPoint is a struck and this is the problem, but how to solve it?

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can archive/unarchive a CGPoint using :

encodeCGPoint:forKey:

and

decodeCGPointForKey:
