My objective is to replace the hardcoded array data with a download from Firebase Realtime Database and store it in either 4 separate arrays or an array of another array for each night club.
The structure of the Firebase Realtime Database JSON can be found here.
As I am new to Firebase, I haven't attempted much yet. Any guidance on how to achieve this would be highly appreciated.
// ViewControllerThree.swift
import Foundation
import UIKit
import MapKit
import CoreLocation
import FirebaseDatabase
class ViewControllerThree: UIViewController, CLLocationManagerDelegate, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate { // new last 2
@IBOutlet weak var clubInfo: UIView!
@IBOutlet weak var mapView: MKMapView!
@IBOutlet weak var miniTableView: UITableView! // new
var locationManager = CLLocationManager()
var artworks: [Artwork] = []
var nightClubs = [NightClubs]() // new new
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
miniTableView.dataSource = self
miniTableView.delegate = self
// Replace getLocations() with pullLocations() method as it streamlines the code significantly and provides dynamic functionality.
DataService.ds.REF_BARS.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) in
print(snapshot.value as Any)
if let snapshot = snapshot.children.allObjects as? [DataSnapshot] {
for snap in snapshot {
print(snap)
if let barData = snap.value as? Dictionary<String, AnyObject> {
let bar = NightClubs(barData: barData)
self.nightClubs.append(bar)
print(self.nightClubs)
self.miniTableView.reloadData()
}
self.miniTableView.reloadData()
}
self.miniTableView.reloadData()
}
self.miniTableView.reloadData()
})
clubInfo.layer.cornerRadius = 4
// Code related to map handling and location services below...
}
// Additional methods and functions continue here...
I aim to swap out the getLocations() function with pullLocations() to achieve better efficiency and code maintenance by reducing around 100 lines of code.
