Using the parse user class I am able to store username, password and email, however I wanted to also store the users name and first name so on parse.com under the core dashboard I added two more columns (firstName and LastName).
func showName(){
let user = PFUser()
let name = user["firstName"]
let lastname = user["lastName"]
studentName.text = "\(name) \(lastname) "
}
I want to change the studentName to show the real first and last name of the user. How am I able to get this info from Parse.
This has be adapted from swift 1.2, I haven't tested it out for swift 2 to make sure it fully works, but depending on the version of Xcode, Swift and Parse SDK you are using this should work.
func showName() {
if let user = PFUser.currentUser() {
self.displayName.text = "\(user["firstName"] as! String) \(user["lastName"] as! String)"
}
}
