How to access UiLabel in custom cell with indexPath and implement user data into the label - ios

Question

Hi there, i have been trying to fix this for 4 days and still no luck so any help would be appreciated. I am trying to create a table view where workers can upload their profiles and users can scroll through to see which ones they like (see simulator photo) however when i use indexPath.row it fills out the whole cell when i only want it to fill out one label so i can configure the different labels with the data i want.
Here is my Table view controller code:
import UIKit
import FirebaseDatabase
import FirebaseStorage
struct Worker {
var name: String!
var price: String!
}
class SelectATaskerTableViewController: UITableViewController {
var ref: DatabaseReference!
var myList:[String] = []
#IBOutlet var myTableView: UITableView!
var handle: DatabaseHandle!
var storageHandle: StorageHandle!
var storageRef: StorageReference!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.rowHeight = 111
// Uncomment the following line to preserve selection between presentations
// self.clearsSelectionOnViewWillAppear = false
// Uncomment the following line to display an Edit button in the navigation bar for this view controller.
// self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
myTableView.delegate = self
myTableView.dataSource = self
ref = Database.database().reference()
storageRef = Storage.storage().reference()
handle = ref.child("WorkerProfile").child("Name").observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in
if let item = snapshot.value as? String {
self.myList.append(item)
self.myTableView.reloadData()
}
})
}
#IBAction func reset(_ sender: Any) {
Database.database().reference().child("WorkerProfile").removeValue()
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
return myList.count
}
var nameText: String!
var pricePerHourText: String!
var extraDetailsText: String!
var profilePicImage: UIImage!
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell:MyCellTableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell") as! MyCellTableViewCell
cell.firstName.text = myList[indexPath.row]
cell.pricePerHour.text = myList[indexPath.row]
// cell.extraDetails.text = extraDetailsText
// cell.profilePic.image = profilePicImage
// Configure the cell...
return cell
}
And my custom table view cell code
import UIKit
class MyCellTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
#IBOutlet weak var firstName: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var pricePerHour: UILabel!
#IBOutlet weak var extraDetails: UILabel!
#IBOutlet var profilePic: UIImageView!
}
If you have any more questions about the details then please ask :) thank you!!

I'd recommend creating a new function which populates an array of dictionaries.
I haven't tested this but it should work somehow like this. If anyone is able to test this or sees an error right away, please tell me!
There might be some issue regarding userIDs. I'm not too familiar with firebase.
var myList:[[String:String]] = [] // Array of dictionaries now
#IBOutlet var myTableView: UITableView!
var handle: DatabaseHandle!
var storageHandle: StorageHandle!
var storageRef: StorageReference!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.rowHeight = 111
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
myTableView.delegate = self
myTableView.dataSource = self
ref = Database.database().reference()
storageRef = Storage.storage().reference()
handle = ref.child("WorkerProfile").observe(.childAdded, with: { (snapshot) in
if let item = snapshot.value as? NSDictionary {
let itemToAppend = ["name": snapshot["Name"] as? String ?? "",
"pricePerHour": snapshot["PricePerHour"] as? String ?? ""
]
self.myList.append(itemToAppend)
self.myTableView.reloadData()
}
})
}
#IBAction func reset(_ sender: Any) {
Database.database().reference().child("WorkerProfile").removeValue()
}
// MARK: - Table view data source
override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of sections
return 1
}
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
// #warning Incomplete implementation, return the number of rows
return myList.count
}
var nameText: String!
var pricePerHourText: String!
var extraDetailsText: String!
var profilePicImage: UIImage!
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell:MyCellTableViewCell = self.tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell") as! MyCellTableViewCell
cell.firstName.text = myList[indexPath.row]["name"]
cell.pricePerHour.text = myList[indexPath.row]["pricePerHour"]
// Configure the cell...
return cell
}
