call child data from firebase - xcode

Question

Good evening,
I am trying to call data to post onto a card very similar to tinder. When I run my code, everything works and I see the print statement in the console. However the card view shows a default image with default text.
I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue and could possibly help explain what I am doing wrong.
fileprivate func fetchUsersFromDatabase() {
Database.database().reference().child("JobPost").observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: {(Snapshot) in
if let eachDict = Snapshot.value as? NSDictionary{
for each in eachDict{
//I think the issue is caused by the let post = poster
let post = Poster(dictionary: Snapshot.value as! [String : Any])
self.cardViewModels.append(post.toCardViewModel())
print(each.value )
}
}
self.setupDummyCards()
}, withCancel: {(Err) in
})
}
// the struct is in an extension file.
struct Poster: ProducesCardViewModel{
var jobName : String?
var price: Int?
var postName: String?
var ImageUrl1: String?
var uid: String?
init(dictionary: [String: Any]) {
self.price = dictionary["cost"] as? Int
self.jobName = dictionary["category"] as? String
self.postName = dictionary["description"] as? String ?? ""
self.ImageUrl1 = dictionary["JobImageUrl"] as? String ?? ""
self.uid = dictionary["fromId"] as? String ?? ""
}
func toCardViewModel() -> CardViewModel {
let attributedText = NSMutableAttributedString(string: jobName ?? "", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 32, weight: .heavy)])
let priceString = price != nil ? "\(price!)" : "N\\A"
attributedText.append(NSAttributedString(string: " \(priceString)", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 24, weight: .regular)]))
let jobString = jobName != nil ? jobName! : "Not available"
attributedText.append(NSAttributedString(string: "\n\(jobString)", attributes: [.font: UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20, weight: .regular)]))
return CardViewModel(imageNames: [ImageUrl1 ?? "" ], attributedString: attributedText, textAlignment: .left)
}
}
Example
// toCardViewModel
import UIKit
protocol ProducesCardViewModel {
func toCardViewModel() -> CardViewModel
}
class CardViewModel {
let JobimageName: [String]
let attributedString: NSAttributedString
let textAlignment: NSTextAlignment
init(imageNames: [String], attributedString: NSAttributedString, textAlignment: NSTextAlignment) {
self.JobimageName = imageNames
self.attributedString = attributedString
self.textAlignment = textAlignment
}
fileprivate var imageIndex = 0 {
didSet {
let imageName = JobimageName[imageIndex]
let image = UIImage(named: imageName)
imageIndexObserver?(imageIndex, image)
}
}
var imageIndexObserver: ((Int, UIImage?) -> ())?
func advanceToNextPhoto() {
imageIndex = min(imageIndex + 1, JobimageName.count - 1)
}
func goToPreviousPhoto() {
imageIndex = max(0, imageIndex - 1)
}
}
Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

I have figured out an answer and it was quite obvious to me. I noticed that
print(each.value )
would print the value, so I just substituted
let post = Poster(dictionary: Snapshot.value as! [String : Any])
to
let post = Poster(dictionary: each.value as! [String : Any])
and everything started to work just fine!
