Retrieve photos from firebase storage SWIFT - ios

Question

I have a problem since yesterday morning but I can't figure it out how can I resolve this issue.
I'm having a table view which is using prototype cells, 2 labels and 1 photo. For the labels I used Firestore and for the picture firebase storage.
The problems is that the only way I know how to retrieve photos from my firebase storage is this code
let storage = Storage.storage()
let storageRef = storage.reference()
let ref = storageRef.child("Mancare/Mancare3.jpg")
testImage.sd_setImage(with: ref)
I want to retrieve the photos into my table view, but I do not know how can I can accomplish that.
This is what im using for retrieving the labels with Firestore . I'll paste only the necessary parts of the code :
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return labels.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableViewTest.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CountryTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! CountryTableViewCell
let storage = Storage.storage()
let storageRef = storage.reference()
let ref = storageRef.child("Mancare/Mancare3.jpg")
let label = labels[indexPath.row]
cell.labelTest.text = label.firstLabel
cell.labelLaba.text = label.secondLabel
return cell
}
func getDatabaseRecords() {
let db = Firestore.firestore()
labels = [] // Empty the array
db.collection("labels").getDocuments { (snapshot, error) in
if let error = error {
print(error)
return
} else {
for document in snapshot!.documents {
let data = document.data()
let newEntry = Labels(
firstLabel: data["firstLabel"] as! String,
secondLabel: data["secondLabel"] as! String)
self.labels
.append(newEntry)
}
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.tableViewTest.reloadData()
}
}
}
This is how I declared the labels:
struct Labels {
let firstLabel: String
let secondLabel: String
}
var labels: [Labels] = []
If someone can help me , ill be forever grateful . Thanks

First, you need to fix your model so it can help you. Add the bucket name to the model like this:
Struct Labels {
let firstLabel: String
let secondLabel: String
let photoKey: String // This will store the bucket name for this `Labels`
}
Now in your getDatabaseRecords change:
let newEntry = Labels(firstLabel: data["firstLabel"] as! String,
secondLabel: data["secondLabel"] as! String),
photoKey: data["photoKey"] as! String) // Added Line
Then in cellForRow:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableViewTest.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "CountryTableViewCell", for: indexPath) as! CountryTableViewCell
let label = labels[indexPath.row]
let storageRef = Storage.storage().reference()
let photoRef = storageRef.child(label.photoKey)
cell.labelTest.text = label.firstLabel
cell.labelLaba.text = label.secondLabel
cell.imageView.sd_setImage(with: photoRef) // Assuming the image view in your cell is named this
return cell
}
Last, make sure your document structure matches the new Labels Model in the firebase console, and you have images as well in the root of your storage that match with all the photoKeys. Btw, Labels is not a very good model name, I just went with it for consistency
