Storing user input from text field to Parse Database - ios

Question

I am trying to store the information a user inputs for the signup page into a parse database, but can't seem to figure out how to do it.
class ViewController: UIViewController {
#IBOutlet var fullnameField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet var emailAddressField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet var usernameField: UITextField!
#IBOutlet var passwordField: UITextField!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
let userFullname = fullnameField.text
let userEmailAddress = emailAddressField.text
let userName = usernameField.text
let userPassword = passwordField.text
let User = PFObject(className: "User")
User["FullName"] = "Example Name"
User["EmailAddress"] = "JohnDoe#example.com"
User["Username"] = "Example"
User["Password"] = "Ilovesmores12345"
User.saveInBackgroundWithBlock { (success: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
println("Object has been saved.")
}
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
}
When a user enters his/her information to the text fields and hit's sign up, I need for the information to save into a parse database for further use on the log in page. I feel like i'm over thinking and making it more complicated, is there a way to do this easily?

For signing up don't use user.save - use user.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock
Check this link, it's Parse iOS Guide.
My example, create a button and connect it to signUpPressed method. Here's the method.
#IBAction func signUpPressed(sender: AnyObject) {
let userName = userNameField.text
let email = emailField.text.lowercaseString
let password = passwordField.text
let fullName = fullNameField.text
var user = PFUser()
user.username = userName
user.email = email
user.password = password
//for custom fields use default key-value assign
user["fullName"] = fullName
user.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock{ (succeeded: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
if let error = error {
let errorString = error.userInfo?["error"] as? String
// Show the errorString somewhere and let the user try again.
} else {
// Hooray! Let them use the app now.
}
}
}
And I'd recommend to name your object's fields starting with lowercase letter, so that it can't be confused with class names.
