This is the current way i’m creating and updating data in Firestore.

• As you can see the “setData” object is not type checked which can result in typos and i wont notice if a change needs to be done when the “Report class” is updated.

class Report {
    var reporttitle:String
    var reportabout:String
    var reportlocation:String

    init(data: [String: Any]) {
        self.reporttitle = data["reporttitle"] as? String ?? ""
        self.reportabout = data["reportabout"] as? String ?? ""
        self.reportlocation = data["reportlocation"] as? String ?? ""
    }
}

var setData = [
     "reporttitle": "title",
     "reportabout": "about",
     "reportlocation": "location",
] as [String: Any]

 Firestore.firestore().collection("reports").addDocument(data: setData) { (err) in
     if let err = err { 
     } else {
        //Created...  
     }
}  

var setData = [
     "reporttitle": "title",
     "reportabout": "about",
] as [String: Any]

 Firestore.firestore().collection("reports").document( <reportid> ).updateData(setData) { (err) in
     if let err = err { 
     } else {
        //Updated...  
     }
}  

What would be a better way of doing this? That includes type-checking

• (Creating) – all values from Report class
• (Updating) – only selective values from Report class
