Can someone help please? Trying to show Parse.com data inside UILabel

Hi,

After following a tutorial to get data from my Parse account I am able to show it in a table view however I am looking to show it in a UILabel instead. I am rather new to Swift so l apologise if this is an easy task!

THe tutorial I followed is this and the data I am showing is sensor readings from an Arduino and Ultrasonic Sensor: https://medium.com/swift-programming/ios-swift-parse-com-tutorial-set-up-xcode-project-part-1-of-3-f50842aa95a

Thanks,

If I'm understanding the question, you'll likely need to add an IBOutlet variable and connect it to your view controller. You can do this easily by navigating to the storyboard, choose the UILabel you wish to use. Make sure the assistant editor is open and you have the view controller swift file visible. Then control click + drag from your UILabel to your view controller and create an IBOutlet. Name it appropriately and you can begin to use it in your code.

Once you have your data from Parse:

self.uilabelname.text = parseobject.variablename
