Read and use dates from Firebase in tableView












0















In my Firebase I have a timestamp that I want to read out and populate in a tableView



The Firebase structure looks like this:



"OpeHS4UhH6YWcK4aPHJWumueCQP2" : {
"Events" : {
"Date" : {
"-LQYDWAKlzTrlTtO1Qiz" : 1541410526186,
"-LQYspEghK3KE27MlFNE" : 1541421618601,
"-LQsILjpNqKwLl9XBcQm" : 1541764115618,
"-LQsYbhf-vl-NnRLTHhK" : 1541768379422
},


So I want to go down the childByAutoID/Events/Date and read out all dates and display in a `tableView.



The closest I have gotten is something like this:



 var eventDates = [String]() 

func getEventHistory() {

let eventHistoryRef = Database.database().reference().child("users/(uid)/Events/")

eventHistoryRef.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in

let value = snapshot.value as? NSDictionary
if let eventDate = value?["Date"] as? [String:String] {
self.DateHistoryArray += Array(eventDate.values)

}
self.tableView.reloadData()

// ...
}) { (error) in
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}


Im not able to convert the dates and add them to the array.

  • Are you using an auto ID or a user ID as the top key? It's unclear in the question.

  • don't know which array you use to fill the table DateHistoryArray or eventDates ? make sure that you fill the correct one

  • always track code with breakpoints or logs

  • @JenPerson Sorry for being imprecise. The correct path is users/uid/Events/Date/chidlByAutoID : dateInMilleseconds
