Swift Retreive Firebase data

Question

The following data in the Firebase Database:

{
  "schedule": {
      "Week 1": {
        "active": "true"
      },
      "Week 2": {
        "active": "true"
      },
      "Week 3": {
        "active": "false"
      },
      "Week 4": {
        "active": "true"
      },  
      ...
   }
}

I want to retrieve all the Weeks where the active is true only. I am setting the Firebase reference as such:

ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference(withPath: "Schedule")

and then doing the following:

ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
        //
        print("Count: ", snapshot.childrenCount)

        for _ in snapshot.children {
                print("\(snapshot.value)")
        }

    })

Which produces the following output:

Optional({
      "Week 1" =     {
           active = 1;
       };
       "Week 2" =     {
           active = 1;
       };
       "Week 3" =     {
           active = 0;
       };
       "Week 4" =     {
           active = 1;
       };
       ...
}

Can someone please suggest how I can get just the weeks where active is set to true which needs to be loaded in an array of type string :

var weeksActive = [String]()

Here Is The Code

1) Create New Swift Page in The Name as Schedule.swift

2) Inside Schedule.swift Page Use The Below Code

import UIKit
class Schedule: NSObject
{
   var weeks: String?
   var active: String?
}

3) In ViewController.Swift Page or Other Page Use This Code

import UIKit
import Firebase
import FirebaseDatabase
class ViewController: UIViewController
{
    var ShceduleList = [Schedule]()
    var ref = FIRDatabaseReference!
    var refHandle: Uint!
    override func viewDidLoad()
    {
       super.viewDidLoad()
       ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference()
       self.FetchSchedule()
    }

    fun FetchSchedule()
    {
       refHandle = ref.child("schedule").observeEventType(.ChildAdded, withBlock: {(snapshot) in
          if let dictionary = snapshot.value as? [String: AnyObject]
          {
               let Schedule = Schedule()
               Schedule.setValuesForKeyWithDictionary(dictionary)
               self.ScheduleList.append(Schedule)
               dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(),{
                print("Schedule List: \(self.ScheduleList)")
               })
          } 
       })
    }
}

Here I Have Added Code Upto Appending Data's To Array You Just Need To Validate Values As Per Your Needs Before Appending To ScheduleList Array.

This is the code for the problem mentioned above. First take the item value as FIRDatabaseSnapshot.value!. Then append it into weeksActive.

    ref.observeSingleEvent(of: .value, with: { snapshot in
            //
            print("Count: ", snapshot.childrenCount)

            for item in snapshot.children {
                    print("\(item as! FIRDataSnapshot).value)")
                   let week = item as! FIRDataSnapshot).value!

            }

        })

For that you can use queryOrdered(byChild:) and queryEqual(toValue:) like this.

let ref = FIRDatabase.database().reference(withPath: "Schedule").queryOrdered(byChild: "active").queryEqual(toValue : true)

ref.observe(.value, with:{ (snapshot) in

    print("Count: ", snapshot.childrenCount)
    for child in snapshot.children {
        print("\((child as! FIRDataSnapshot).value)")
        //To get week you need to access key
        print("\((child as! FIRDataSnapshot).key)")
    }
})
