Question

I want my swift code to save 1 date in core data. on lbl1 i want the first core data date to be display. The label should only display the first date saved. Here is my code below which is not working. Nothing is being displayed on lbl1 when the function is called. I a link to my github profile below with this exact code.

import UIKit
import CoreData
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var foodItems = [Food]()
var moc:NSManagedObjectContext!
var appDelegate = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate
var btn = UIButton()
var lbl1 = UILabel()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
moc = appDelegate?.persistentContainer.viewContext
[btn,lbl1].forEach{
view.addSubview($0)
$0.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
}
NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
btn.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0.2),
btn.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor, multiplier: 1),
btn.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor),
btn.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor),
lbl1.heightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.heightAnchor, multiplier: 0.2),
lbl1.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor, multiplier: 1),
lbl1.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: btn.bottomAnchor),
lbl1.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor),
])
btn.backgroundColor = .orange
lbl1.backgroundColor = .systemTeal
btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(addFoodToDatabase(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
}
#objc func addFoodToDatabase(_ sender: UIButton) {
let foodItem = Food(context: moc)
foodItem.added = NSDate() as Date
appDelegate?.saveContext()
place()
}
func place(){
let foodRequest:NSFetchRequest<Food> = Food.fetchRequest()
// 2
// 3
do {
try foodItems = moc.fetch(foodRequest)
}catch {
print("Could not load data")
}
lbl1.text = moc.name
}
}
