Retrieve data from new Firebase

Question

Please help. After migrating to new Firebase I can\'t retrieve data. Use this construction:

let ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference()

override func viewDidL         


        

Answer 1

So, with mine, I also had a ref being declared immediately when the view controller was instantiated. I had to make it load after the app had been configured in the app delegate with FIRApp.configure().

Before:

let serverRef = Firebase("firebaseURL")

After:

lazy var serverRef = FIRDatabase.database().reference()

This delays the instantiation of the database reference until its needed, which wont be until viewDidLoad on your initial view controller.
