Swift TableView ImageView + Label = Fatal Error: Index out of range

Question

I am using a tableview to show a Project's title including the image. I'm using FirebaseStorage and FirebaseDatabase.

The Problem is, that when I have only one protect, I get "Fatal error: Index out of range", as soon as I click on the Title. When I have more than one Project you can see what happens in the video.

Maybe someone can help me, since something isn't right with the index handling. :)

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

You created your numberOfSection by [Post]. And also you assigning performSegue on click of indexPath.row. So it's throws an error, you've to use indexPath.section instead of indexPath.row in didSelectItem() method

e.g.

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAt indexPath: IndexPath)   
 {
     let post = posts[indexPath.section] // Use here section instead of row
     performSegue(withIdentifier: "toDetails", sender: post)

 }
