This is the structure of my Firestore data right now:
I'm having trouble just accessing the favourites array. I seem to be accessing the collection and document just fine, but I can't seem to pull the favourites array in my code.
This is the relevant code in my data model
protocol UserFavouritesProtocol {
func userFavouritesRetrieved(userFavourites:[UserFavourites])
}
var delegateTest:UserFavouritesProtocol?
func getFavourites() {
// Detach any listener
listener?.remove()
// Get a reference to the database
let db = Firestore.firestore()
var query:Query = db.collection("userFavourites")
self.listener = query.addSnapshotListener({ (snapshot, error) in
// Check for errors
if error == nil && snapshot != nil {
var userFavourites = [UserFavourites]()
// Parse documents into mealPlans
for doc in snapshot!.documents {
let u = UserFavourites(
favouriteMealPlans: doc["favourites"] as? [String])
userFavourites.append(u)
}
// Call the delegate and pass back the notes in the main thread
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.delegateTest?.userFavouritesRetrieved(userFavourites: userFavourites)
}
}
})
}
This is my UserFavourites struct:
struct UserFavourites {
var favouriteMealPlans:[String]?
}
At this point, how can I access the favourites array and call a reference to it? For example, I later want to see if a particular string is contained within my favourites array.
