swift uitableview firebase-realtime-database custom-cell

I can't access multiple IndexPath rows textfields

I am new to coding and do not understand how to word things properly and how to clean up my code but here goes.

I have a view controller. In the view controller I have a view with a view and a tableview. In the view, I have an UIImage with tap gestures enabled and three textfields. In the nav bar, I have a nav UIButton. When the nav UIButton is tapped the information in the text fields as well as the image is sent to my storage database.

Inside the the table view I have a prototype cell. In the prototype cell I have four text fields. These textfields are constrained by setting a tableviewcell class. That code looks like the following:

import UIKit
import Firebase

class ConsiderationsCell: UITableViewCell {

@IBOutlet weak var nameTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var feedTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var storyTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var compensationTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

override func awakeFromNib() {
super.awakeFromNib()

nameTextFieldConsiderations.placeholder = "Name"
nameTextFieldConsiderations.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
nameTextFieldConsiderations.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
nameTextFieldConsiderations.backgroundColor = UIColor.secondarySystemBackground
nameTextFieldConsiderations.textColor = .label
let nameTFC = nameTextFieldConsiderations.text

feedTextFieldConsiderations.placeholder = "#"
feedTextFieldConsiderations.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
feedTextFieldConsiderations.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
feedTextFieldConsiderations.backgroundColor = UIColor.secondarySystemBackground
feedTextFieldConsiderations.textColor = .label

storyTextFieldConsiderations.placeholder = "#"
storyTextFieldConsiderations.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
storyTextFieldConsiderations.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
storyTextFieldConsiderations.backgroundColor = UIColor.secondarySystemBackground
storyTextFieldConsiderations.textColor = .label

compensationTextFieldConsiderations.placeholder = "$"
compensationTextFieldConsiderations.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
compensationTextFieldConsiderations.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
compensationTextFieldConsiderations.backgroundColor = UIColor.secondarySystemBackground
compensationTextFieldConsiderations.textColor = .label
}



required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: coder)
 }

}

I have a send function right now that is sending data from the first row to my firebase database. The code for that function is the following:

 import UIKit
 import Firebase

class ConsiderationsViewController: UIViewController, UITextFieldDelegate {

@IBOutlet weak var tableView: UITableView!

var numberOfPeople: [String] = []

@IBOutlet weak var CompanyImage: UIImageView!

@IBOutlet weak var companyNameTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var companyDescriptionTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var startDateTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

@IBOutlet weak var endDateTextFieldConsiderations: UITextField!

    return numberOfPeople.count
   }

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: AddPersonCell, for: indexPath) as! ConsiderationsCell
    
    return cell
   }

}

I am able to get the first row text field sent using this function and it looks like the following in my database:

I can send the second row but I have to change the index path to:

let index = IndexPath(row: 1,section: 0)

I would like to have each row to add the name textfield name under each user node. I would also like the feed, story, and compensation textfields in each row to be under each name textfield node that they correspond to.

If there is a better way to do this I am all years. I have been trying to do this for the last 2 weeks.

(In the future I will need help with the name textfield corresponding to a specific user in my database and be able to show them the company information as well as their specific node information)

Please help!!!

Solution

I needed to set the labels equal to their corresponding textfields for their correct indexPath.row. Here is the code I ended up using:

extension ConsiderationsTestViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
    
    return ConsiderationsTestViewController.people.count
}

func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
    return 1
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 72
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: AddPersonCell, for: indexPath) as! ConsiderationsCell
    
    let numberOfPeopleCells = ConsiderationsTestViewController.people[indexPath.row]
    
    
    cell.nameLabelC.text = numberOfPeopleCells.Name
    cell.feedLabelC.text = numberOfPeopleCells.PostNumber
    cell.storyLabelC.text = numberOfPeopleCells.StoryNumber
    cell.compensationLabelC.text = numberOfPeopleCells.Compensation
    cell.userImage.loadImageUsingCacheWithUrlString(urlString: numberOfPeopleCells.ProfileImageUrl!)
    
    cell.userImage.layer.cornerRadius = 25
    
    cell.nameLabelC.numberOfLines = 0
    
    return cell
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, canEditRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> Bool {
    return true
}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, commit editingStyle: UITableViewCell.EditingStyle, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) {
    if (editingStyle == .delete) {
        
        ConsiderationsTestViewController.people.remove(at: indexPath.row)
        // handle delete (by removing the data from your array and updating the tableview)
        tableView.deleteRows(at: [indexPath], with: .fade)
    }
}

}
