Use of unresolved identifier - ios

Question

I am building a barcode scanner. the operations are simple
scan a barcode,
if the scanned barcode is in my firebase database perform func updateProductInfo() if the barcode is not in my firebase database perform func enterNewProduct().
The one problem that I am having now is how to define metadataObj so that it is accessible by all and any other function that I will define later. I have attempt to define it right below the ScanController class but I couldn't figure it out. My code is below
import UIKit
import AVFoundation
import Firebase
class ScanController: UIViewController, AVCaptureMetadataOutputObjectsDelegate {
var captureSession: AVCaptureSession?
var videoPreviewLayer: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer?
var qrCodeFrameView: UIView?
let itemDB = FIRDatabase.database().reference().child("Items")

Define it at the top under qrcodeframeview to make it "global" in your class
