Updating a Realtime Database object in Firebase iOS SDK












1















I have a database that looks like this:
enter image description here



I want to update let's say the second user, the one with uid 5p3XT8TVFbVYNmFt0Kbu1ticaUT2, and change its name to "James". Using the iOS SDK I can do:



let ref = Database.database().reference()
let id = 5p3XT8TVFbVYNmFt0Kbu1ticaUT2
let databaseQuery = ref.child("users").queryOrdered(byChild: "uid").queryEqual(toValue: id)


In order to query the database so it will filter out all users apart from the one I want to change. But this query will now point to a filtered list of users which contains only the user I want to update, not to the user itself. So if I try



databaseQuery.ref.updateChildValues(...)


The database will look like this:



enter image description here



I can't understand from the api reference how to get straight to the queried child. How do I do that?

You can set value to be changed in the values dictionary



func updateValues(){
let ref = Database.database().reference()
let id = 5p3XT8TVFbVYNmFt0Kbu1ticaUT2

let values = ["name": txf_Name.text ?? "", “email”: txf_email.text ?? "", “role”: txf_Role.text ?? ""]
ref.child(id).updateChildValues(values, withCompletionBlock: { (error, ref) in
if(error != nil){
print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "")
return
}
print("Values Updated")

})

}
