They changed it in Swift 3.0. Now you can get string from type(of: self)

I think this is the best way to get type name: any instance of class, based on NSObject, enum, typealiase, functions, var properties, and any types, even constants. For types, you have to use .self. For example, typeName(Int.self), typeName(true.self). Nor you need to worry about project name as part(such as AppProj.[typename]) Great!
