Swift iOS - Add data as custom model containing custom model to Firestore
For what it's worth, anyone winding up here via Google looking for custom data model handling + Swift + Firebase should check out this feature of Firebase using the Codable
protocol.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/manage-data/add-data#custom_objects
Specifically this gives you access to a special setData
call that looks like document("LA").setData(from: city)
.
You should not need the extra import anymore in Firebase v7.3+ so that's awesome! If you're still on v6 or older, you need it.
If you don't have access to this function in your code, it's because you need to import FirebaseFirestoreSwift
which are special extensions for Swift prior to v7.0.
