I have an array column in Parse that is called homeAddress. Inside it is the following value for a single row:
["111111","222222"]
I wish to access this in swift. I created a local array called homeAddress of String type. How can I store the first element in the Parse column (i.e. 111111) in the first element holder in local array i.e. homeAddress[0]? And then I need to store the 222222 in the homeAddress[1].
So what you want is load this data from parse. You can just call a Parse Query get the results and work with them:
let query = PFQuery(className:"ClassName")
query.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock {
(results, error) -> Void in
if (error == nil) {
for object in results!{
let homeAddress = object["homeAddress"] as! NSArray
}
}else {
print(error?.userInfo)
}
}
One way would be to trim first and last character and just separate values by comma:
var test = "[\("111111"),\("222222")]"
var trimmedStringRange = Range<String.Index>(start: test.startIndex.successor(), end: test.endIndex.predecessor())
var homeAddress = test.substringWithRange(trimmedStringRange).componentsSeparatedByString(",")
If your local array is empty, you can add your values from the parse array like this (after getting the array from Parse):
localHomeAddress.append(homeAddress)
This will put all values from homeAddress array in localHomeAddress array.
If you use a splice, you can ensure you are adding the values from index 0:
localHomeAddress.insertContentsOf(homeAddress, at:0)
