Answer 1

Just some coding errors

Remove: (snapshot)-> Void

I assume you want to store the friends name as a string and name is a key in your structure. So change self.friendsList.append(child.value) to

let name = child.value["name"] as? String
friendsList.append(name!)

Here's the corrected code:

var friendsList = [String]()

ref.observeSingleEventOfType(.Value, withBlock: { snapshot in

    if snapshot.value is NSNull {

    } else {
        for child in snapshot.children {
            let name = child.value["name"] as? String
            friendsList.append(name!)
        }
        print("\(friendsList)")
    }
})

Answer 2

ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { (snapshot) -> Void in

    })
