Swift: Firebase 3 - How to Swipe to Delete Messages in UITableView (Ep 22)

Quick video today guys. Lets take a look at how to enable our tableview to allow for swipe deletion of our messages. The deletion will call removeValue for our Firebase Database reference object. Upon completion, we'll actually remove the object from our table. Enjoy this short episode everyone.

If you're still looking at things to add for the video, A really cool thing would be offline capabilities to persist table and chats, and also tracking if the message was sent and received!

Hi Brian, thanks for the great videos!
I have a question. Sorry it's a bit off topic. How can we Update a cell in tableView with Firebase?
Thanks in advance for any info!

Brian, your tutorials are awesome. Always watch each and every one that you upload. I'm curious about your opinion on the new Uber app. Those animations and transitions are mind-blowing... if you can share your experience in the upcoming tutorials about how to make an app that looks so professional, you'd make my day/year :)

[CraigWedge]

Sweet bro, nice one yet again! Just a quick question, would it be optimum if both users were to delete their respective conversation with one another, that all references within Firebase associated to that conversation (images and videos) are removed from storage then? Cheers

[SeRcCaNB]

Thank you for the video... and the oscar goes too real time chat notification :)

[StudioCFanEver]

Hey Brian, did you ever do a video on how to have the loading thing pop up when login/registering a user so that the user doesn't press login/register more than once? If so, what part is that in? (I'm doing a different kind of app but still using much of the stuff in the tutorials, so I've been skipping around). Thanks!

Hey Brian - thanks for the awesome series! Is there a way to integrate email verification with firebase? I feel like if this app would go in production, people would just be spam creating accounts with illegitimate emails... or is an external service required?

[ukdrillunreleased]

Hey Brian I think you should show us how to do the notification sending through firebase

Hello Brain, Thank you very much for your amazing videos really big fan of yours. Correct me if i am wrong! in this video what you did is deleting chats by identifying the person and which indexpath row and deleting whatever information(messages) is inside that cell. in my app I stored like a lot of products and generated auto ID for it . I wonder how can delete a product ! which is under generated name I am having difficulty to identify ? so if this case is in your app will be like deleting one of the chat items . Thanks !
