setValuesForKeysWithDictionary in Swift 4?

Question

It seems like Swift 4 is implementing different method to (void)setValuesForKeysWithDictionary(), what is appropriate replacement to this function in Swift 4?

I have struct of

struct User {
    let name: String?
    let email: String?
}

The dictionaryOfUsers is coming from data structure which value are presented dynamically based on the number of users in the database:

let dictionaryOfUsers = [{key1: "name1", key2 : "name1@xyz.com"}, {key1 : "name2", key2 : "name2@gmail.com"} ]   
let users = [User]

Now I want to use this function to create my user array to create dictionary in Swift 4:

for dictionary in dictionaryOfUsers {
    let user = User()
    user.setValuesForKeysWithDictionary(dictionary) 

and append to users

    users.append(user)
}

Try this method instead:

func setValuesForKeys(_ keyedValues: [String : Any])

Sets properties of the receiver with values from a given dictionary, using its keys to identify the properties. The default implementation invokes setValue(_:forKey:) for each key-value pair...

Your code has many minor issues — and some major issues as well (see matt answer for more info). Anyway, I think this should accomplish what you are after:

import Foundation

class User: NSObject {
    @objc var name: String!
    @objc var email: String!
}

let dictionaryOfUsers = [
    ["name": "name1", "email": "name1@xyz.com"],
    ["name": "name2", "email": "name2@gmail.com"]
]

var users = [User]()
for dictionary in dictionaryOfUsers {
    let user = User()
    user.setValuesForKeys(dictionary) 
    users.append(user)
}
