This is my login view controller which controls the authentication and also has a function called “fetchVillaNumber()” which fetches data from FireStore. This function is the problem in my code… Even though this function works perfectly and fetches the correct villa number, I am not able to access the value fetched inside the closure in other parts of the code(outside the closure)… Can you please tell me how to access this fetched villa number value outside the closure? Thank you so much!
