Get values of variables defined by protocol from any VC

Question

protocol(myProtocol):-

 protocol myProtocol {
        var type:String { get set }
        var sub:String { get }
        var msg:String? { get set }
    }

Class(myVC):-

class myVC: UIViewController, myProtocol {
    //Protocol Declarations
    var sub  = myTypes.type.rawValue
    var type = myTypes.type.getType()
    var msg :String?

.... }

Extension:-

extension UIViewController
{
 func getData() {
        if self is myProtocol {
         let msg = self.msg

        } }
}

Getting error at 'self.msg' saying Value of type UIViewController has no member 'sub'

How do i go about it? Any help is appreciated.

All you need to do is write another line of code in your extension class. I just tested it in my end and it worked for me. Here is the code I wrote -

extension UIViewController
{
    func getData() {
        if self is myProtocol {
            let x = self as! myProtocol
            let msg = x.msg
            print(x.msg)
        }
    }
}
