Question

#objc func registerButtonClicked()
{
//After Firebase is configured this is called
guard let email = emailTextField.text else {
alertBox(title: "Error", message: "All fields are mandatory")
return }
guard let password = passwordTextField.text else { return }
guard let name = nameTextField.text else { return }
Auth.auth().createUser(withEmail: email, password: password) { (data, error) in
if error != nil{
print(error.debugDescription)
print("Error occurred")
} else
{
print("Data -- >\(String(describing: data))")
self.saveDataInFirebase(name: name, password: password, email: email)
//here the data is saved in authentication table in firebase so next step //was to save its detail in db in json
}
}
}
func saveDataInFirebase(name: String, password: String, email: String)
{
let userData = ["name" : name, "email" : email]
print("name \(name) --- Email \(email)")
// printing the details to be saved in DB
let firebaseRef = Database.database().reference(fromURL: "https://chatdemo1-d3423.firebaseio.com/")
firebaseRef.updateChildValues(userData) { (error, dbRef) in
if error != nil{
print("------------------")
print(error.debugDescription)
print("----------------------")
}
else
{
print("Data Saved Successfully")
}
}
}

The code in the question is probably not what you want to use as it will overwrite your entire Firebase each time it's run.
The reason for that is you're not writing data to a child node of your Firbase, you are writing it to the main node. This is what's being written:
your_firebase //<- this is where you're writing too each time
email: "some email"
name: "some name"
my guess is you want to stucture it like this
your_firebase
user_id
email: "some email"
name: "some name"
and the code to do that would be
var ref: DatabaseReference!
func viewDidLoad() {
self.ref = Database.database().reference()
.
.
.
}
func createUser() {
let email = "some email"
let password = "some password"
let name = "some name"
Auth.auth().createUser(withEmail: email, password: password) { (authResult, error) in
if let x = error { //some fancy error checking
let err = x as NSError
switch err.code {
case AuthErrorCode.emailAlreadyInUse.rawValue:
print("email in use!")
default:
print("unknown error")
}
} else {
guard let user = authResult?.user else { return }
let uid = user.uid
let usersRef = self.ref.child("users")
let thisUserRef = usersRef.child(uid)
thisUserRef.child("email").setValue(email)
thisUserRef.child("name").setValue(name)
}
}
}
This code assumes the Firebase Rules allows the user permission to write the the users node
