Table Views are used everywhere from the Mail app to the Messages app. It’s a crucial part of every iOS developer’s tool belt. In this tutorial we’ll be getting to grips with Table Views, creating custom cells, and making our own cloud-based backend database. It’s going to be epic, so buckle up.\n\n## What you will create\n\nFlash Chat is an internet based messaging app similar to WhatsApp, the popular messaging app that was bought by Facebook for $22 billion. We will be using a service called Firebase Firestore as a backend database to store and retrieve our messages from the cloud. \n\n## What you will learn\n\n* How to integrate third party libraries in your app using Cocoapods and Swift Package Manager.\n* How to store data in the cloud using Firebase Firestore.\n* How to query and sort the Firebase database.\n* How to use Firebase for user authentication, registration and login.\n* How to work with UITableViews and how to set their data sources and delegates.\n* How to create custom views using .xib files to modify native design components.\n* How to embed View Controllers in a Navigation Controller and understand the navigation stack.\n* How to create a constants file and use static properties to store Strings and other constants.\n* Learn about Swift loops and create animations using loops.\n* Learn about the App Lifecycle and how to use viewWillAppear or viewWillDisappear.\n* How to create direct Segues for navigation.\n\n\n# Constants\n```\nstruct K {\n    static let cellIdentifier = \"ReusableCell\"\n    static let cellNibName = \"MessageCell\"\n    static let registerSegue = \"RegisterToChat\"\n    static let loginSegue = \"LoginToChat\"\n    \n    struct BrandColors {\n        static let purple = \"BrandPurple\"\n        static let lightPurple = \"BrandLightPurple\"\n        static let blue = \"BrandBlue\"\n        static let lighBlue = \"BrandLightBlue\"\n    }\n    \n    struct FStore {\n        static let collectionName = \"messages\"\n        static let senderField = \"sender\"\n        static let bodyField = \"body\"\n        static let dateField = \"date\"\n    }\n}\n\n```\n\n\u003eThis is a companion project to The App Brewery's Complete App Developement Bootcamp, check out the full course at [www.appbrewery.co](https://www.appbrewery.co/)\n\n![End Banner](Documentation/readme-end-banner.png)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fleduy10192%2Fflash-chat","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fleduy10192%2Fflash-chat","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fleduy10192%2Fflash-chat/lists"}
