Protocol-Delegate pattern not notifying View Controller - ios

Question

My Model saves data to Firestore. Once that data is saved, I'd like it to alert my ViewController so that a function can be called. However, nothing is being passed to my ViewController.
This is my Model:
protocol ProtocolModel {
func wasDataSavedSuccessfully(dataSavedSuccessfully:Bool)
}
class Model {
var delegate:ProtocolModel?
func createUserAddedRecipe(
docId:String,
completion: #escaping (Recipe?) -> Void) {
let db = Firestore.firestore()
do {
try db.collection("userFavourites").document(currentUserId).collection("userRecipes").document(docId).setData(from: recipe) { (error) in
print("Data Saved Successfully") // THIS OUTPUTS TO THE CONSOLE
// Notify delegate that data was saved to Firestore
self.delegate?.wasDataSavedSuccessfully(dataSavedSuccessfully: true)
}
}
catch {
print("Error \(error)")
}
}
}
The print("Data Saved Successfully") outputs to the console, but the delegate method right below it doesn't get called.
And this is my ViewController:
class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var model = Model()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
model.delegate = self
}
}
extension ViewController: ProtocolModel {
func wasDataSavedSuccessfully(dataSavedSuccessfully: Bool) {
if dataSavedSuccessfully == true {
print("Result is true.")
}
else {
print("Result is false.")
}
print("Protocol-Delegate Pattern Works")
}
}
Is there something I'm missing from this pattern? I haven't been able to notice anything different in the articles I've reviewed.

Answer 1

So I test your code and simulate something like that
import UIKit
protocol ProtocolModel {
func wasDataSavedSuccessfully(dataSavedSuccessfully:Bool)
}
class Model {
var delegate:ProtocolModel?
// I use this timer for simulate that firebase store data every 3 seconds for example
var timer: Timer?
func createUserAddedRecipe(
docId:String) {
timer = Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 3, repeats: true, block: { _ in
self.delegate?.wasDataSavedSuccessfully(dataSavedSuccessfully: true)
})
}
}
class NavigationController: UINavigationController {
var model = Model()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
model.delegate = self
// Call this method to register for network notification
model.createUserAddedRecipe(docId: "exampleId")
}
}
extension NavigationController: ProtocolModel {
func wasDataSavedSuccessfully(dataSavedSuccessfully: Bool) {
print(#function)
}
}
so you can see the result as image below, my delegate update controller that conform to that protocol.
