How to remove Optional from String Value Swift

Question

I\'d like to use a String value without the optional extension. I parse this data from firebase using the following code:

Database.database().reference(withP         


        

Answer 1

That's because your value is actually an optional. You could either do

if let myString = laststring {
    print("Value is ", myString)
}

or provide a default value like so

print("Value is ", laststring ?? "")

(in this case the provided default value is "")
