Wondering if anyone has ever used Firebase and tried to return an OrderedDictionary. For me, specifically on the ingredientsItem, I am not returning anything. Meanwhile If I switch to as? [String: String] it works.

​

Wondering why OrderedDictionary isn't throwing up any errors, but also isn't grabbing the data

​

 func grabRecipes(){
       //grab current user
        guard let uid = FirebaseManager.shared.auth.currentUser?.uid else {
            return
        }
        FirebaseManager.shared.firestore
            .collection("users")
            .document(uid)
            .collection("userRecipes")
            .addSnapshotListener { (snapshot, err) in
                guard let documents = snapshot?.documents else{
                    print("no documents present")
                    return
                }
                self.recipes = documents.map { (querySnapshot) -> RecipeItem in
                    let data = querySnapshot.data()
                    let recipeTitle = data ["recipeTitle"] as? String ?? ""
                    let ingredients = data ["ingredientItem"] as? 
                  OrderedDictionary<String,String> ?? ["": ""]

                    print(ingredients)
                    return recipe
                }
            }
        }
    }
