ios - getting Firebase Cloud messaging running swift -

i following google's instructions on setting firebase https://www.firebase.com/docs/ios/quickstart.html suspect problem may because legacy version. deprecated should not read error, @ least have found apple deprecations. following code:

import uikit import firebase class firstviewcontroller: uiviewcontroller {  override func viewdidload() {     super.viewdidload()     var myrootref = firebase(url:"https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com")     // write data firebase     myrootref.setvalue("do have data? you'll love firebase.")     // additional setup after loading view, typically nib. } 

gives following error

cannot call value of non-function type 'module<firebase>' 

from link, exact same code prescribed. have installed pods firebase , firebase cloud messaging.

cannot call value of non-function type 'module'

the error saying imported module named firebase here:

import uikit import firebase 

and tried calling module if it's function:

override func viewdidload() {     super.viewdidload()      var myrootref = firebase(...) 

i think old firebase module must have defined function/class called firebase, when imported old firebase module, made firebase() function/initializer available. apparently, new firebase module doesn't define function/class anymore, hence need new instructions.

in addition, url can't correct:

url:"https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com" 

you substitute actual name of app in place of <your-firebase-app>.

in case, don't specify url in code anymore: instead call firapp.configure() in appdelegate.swift, , takes care of connecting proper url you. how configure() know url connect to? in googleservice-info.plist file dragged app--you’ll see db url in there.

to reference top of db, is:

dbref = firdatabase.database().reference() 

here in viewcontroller:

class viewcontroller: uiviewcontroller {      var dbref: firdatabasereference!      override func viewdidload() {         super.viewdidload()         // additional setup after loading view, typically nib.          dbref = firdatabase.database().reference()         dbref.child("person").child("name").setvalue("joe") 

after running app, you'll see following @ firebase website:

abcd-1234  |____person         |__name: “joe”
