Multiple Custom Cells in UITableView With Firebase Database - ios

Question

I want to create a tableview that has two custom cells in it, with the information being pulled from Firebase Database. The first custom cell displays the dates, and the second custom cell displays the events. When I run the app, the tableview is only returning the first custom cell, which is the dates. What would be causing this?
import UIKit
import Firebase
class augustController: UIViewController, UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
#IBOutlet var augustController: UITableView!
var ref = DatabaseReference()
var date = [String]()
var event = [String]()
var databaseHandle:DatabaseHandle = 0
var databaseHandle2:DatabaseHandle = 0
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
ref = Database.database().reference()
databaseHandle = ref.child("Events").child("August").child("dates").observe(.childAdded) { (snapshot) in
let post = snapshot.value as? String
if let actualPost = post {
self.date.append(actualPost)
}
}
databaseHandle2 = ref.child("Events").child("August").child("events").observe(.childAdded) { (snapshot) in
let post2 = snapshot.value as? String
if let actualPost2 = post2 {
self.event.append(actualPost2)
self.augustController.reloadData()
}
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return date.count
}
func tableView2(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return event.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let augustDate = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "augustDate") as! dateCell
augustDate.date.text = date[indexPath.row]
return(augustDate)
}
func tableView2(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let augustEvents = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "augustEvents") as! eventCell
augustEvents.even.text = event[indexPath.row]
return(augustEvents)
}
}

Answer 1

You implement cellForRow twice , you have to
var itemsArr = [Item]()
//
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return itemsArr.count
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let item = itemsArr[indexPath.row]
if item.isDate {
let augustDate = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "augustDate") as! dateCell
augustDate.date.text = item.content
return augustDate
}
else {
let augustEvents = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "augustEvents") as! eventCell
augustEvents.even.text = item.content
return augustEvents
}
}
//
then make it one array and append items of this struct type
struct Item {
var isDate:Bool
var content:String
}
