Question

How to create an Array in Firebase realtime database in iOS using swift

note : I want to be able to append new elements without getting array value first an add element locally then setting it to database .

Can you, please, elaborate more? Because "Firebase has no native support for arrays." So, what exactly that you want to do? — Amr

use childByAutoId()

Database.database().reference().child("arrayKey").childByAutoId().setValue("Value") }

This should be achieved easily:

let ref = storageRef.child("your_child")
let array = ["First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth"]
ref.setValue(array)

I have tried this but adding o an element requires an api call to get all elements and then add the element locally and then setting it back to database .
