Currently, I'm trying to use Swift's codable protocol to add and read custom objects to and from Firebase's database. I've been following the instructions in these docs. However, when I try to write to the database, I'm getting an error "FIRInvalidArgumentException: Nested arrays are not supported". But aren't they supported? I saw another post on here from a couple of years ago that addressed a similar issue but I don't understand what I did wrong here.
These are the Swift struct representations that implement Codable:
struct List: Codable {
var title: String
var date: String
var description: String
var data: [SectionHeaders: Array<Item>] = [
.produce: [],
.seafood: [],
.meat: [],
.deli: [],
.bakery: [],
.pantry: [],
.dairy: [],
.frozen: [],
.other: []
]
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case name
case date
case description
case data = "items"
}
struct Item: Codable {
var name: String?
var quantity: String?
}
enum SectionHeaders: Int, Codable {
case produce = 0, seafood, meat, deli, bakery, pantry, dairy, frozen, other, total
enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
case produce = "produce"
case seafood = "seafood"
case meat = "meat"
case deli = "deli"
case bakery = "bakery"
case pantry = "pantry"
case dairy = "dairy"
case frozen = "frozen"
case other = "other"
}
}
And this is the data representation I'm aiming to get:
"title": String,
"date": String,
"description": String,
"items": [
"header1": [{
"name": String,
"quantity": String
},
{
"name": String,
"quantity": String
}
],
"header2": [{
"name": String,
"quantity": String
},
{
"name": String,
"quantity": String
}
]
]
Any help would be great! Thanks in advance!
