So I just wanna to read which option I picked from my picker. I read a few questions and answers but I can't make it work with it. I must doing something wrong. So there is my code:
import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseFirestore
class AddItemViewController: UIViewController, UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource {
@IBOutlet weak var itemNameField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var storeNameField: UITextField!
@IBOutlet weak var dateOfPurchaseField: UIDatePicker!
@IBOutlet weak var guaranteePeriodField: UIPickerView!
let guaranteePeriodData = ["1 Year", "2 Years", "3 Years", "4 Years", "5 Years", "6 Years"]
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
guaranteePeriodField.delegate = self
guaranteePeriodField.dataSource = self
}
func numberOfComponents(in pickerView: UIPickerView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, numberOfRowsInComponent component: Int) -> Int {
return guaranteePeriodData.count
}
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, titleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> String? {
return guaranteePeriodData[row]
}
@IBAction func addItemButtonTouched(_ sender: Any) {
let db = Firestore.firestore()
guard let uid = Auth.auth().currentUser?.uid,
let name = itemNameField.text else {
return // return control to the caller or do something else to indicate access denied
}
let store = storeNameField.text
let dateOfPurchase = dateOfPurchaseField.date
let guaranteePeriod = guaranteePeriodData[guaranteePeriodField.selectedRow(inComponent: print(guaranteePeriod))]
db.collection("recipes").addDocument(data: ["name": name, "uid": uid, "store": store, "dateOfPurchase": dateOfPurchase, "guaranteePeriod": guaranteePeriod])
displayAlertMessage(alertTitle: "Success", alertMessage: "New item added successfully.", dismiss: true)
}
I want to make it simple as possible and I just need to read the value before I save it to firebase.
I getting error:
Unsupported type: UIPickerView (found in field guaranteePeriod)"
This is how I trying to assign value:
let guaranteePeriod = guaranteePeriodField
db.collection("recipes").addDocument(data: ["name": name, "uid": uid, "guaranteePeriod": guaranteePeriod])
You can read selected value with
var selectedItem = ""
func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, didSelectRow row: Int, inComponent component: Int) {
selectedItem = guaranteePeriodData[row]
}
According to your Update change it like :
let guaranteePeriod = selectedItem
