12,365 PointsCode Challenge: Signing Up New Users Part 2 - PFUser
In our view controller below we want to sign up new users for our app. In the signup method, start by capturing the username and password from two UITextField properties: 'usernameField' and 'passwordField'. Store the values in the properties 'username' and 'password'.
-I've tried everything to solve this to no available. Please help.
#import "SignupViewController.h"
#import <Parse/Parse.h>
@implementation SignupViewController
- (IBAction)signup:(id)sender {
NSString *username = [self.usernameField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
NSString *password = [self.passwordField.text stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]];
}
@end

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou are almost right, instead of creating local variables username
and password
you need to assign them to the properties named username
and password
, which means on the left you will be using self.username
and self.password
.
