Getting a FIRUser from their uid

Is there a way to get FIRUser data back from a Firebase by using their uid? For example: 

let firebaseUser:FIRUser = FIRAuth().auth()?.getUserByUid(someuid)

I'm doing this because I want to allow a user to see a friend's display name in the app.

Thanks!

In order to get someone by their Uid, you would need to store The data that you want in the database. You can use child["user"] with child["Uid"] to store things like a user's name or photoURL. Check out this series of videos. He shows you how to do a signup flow with FIRAuth and FIRDatabase. The next video in the series shows how you query the data if you don't already know how to do that.
