iOS Swift + Parse User Sign up not passing any data to parse

Question

I do not get any errors and the application builds fine but when I check parse, there is no new user added. here is the code:

import UIKit
import Parse

class ViewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet var passwordTextField: UITextField!

    @IBOutlet var emailTextField: UITextField!

    //@IBOutlet var messageLabel: UILabel!


    @IBAction func loginVerifyButton(sender: AnyObject) {

        var pwdEntered = passwordTextField.text

        var emlEntered = emailTextField.text

        if pwdEntered != "" && emlEntered != "" {

            // If not empty then yay, do something

            func userSignUp() {

                var user = PFUser()
                user.email = emlEntered
                user.password = pwdEntered
                user.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock {
                    (succeeded: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
                    if let error = error {
                        let errorString = error.userInfo?["error"] as? NSString
                        // Show the errorString somewhere and let the user try again.

                    } else {
                        // Hooray! Let them use the app now.
                    }
                }

            }

        }else {

            //self.messageLabel.text = "All Fields Required"

        }

You should be setting the userName of the PFUser as well, you are only setting the email and passwrod, but you should do this, ObjC, sorry:

  PFUser *user = [PFUser user];
  user.password = [[[self contentView] passwordField] text];
  user.email = [[[self contentView] emailField] text];
  user.username = [[[self contentView] emailField] text];

and then doing this:

 [user signUpInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error) {
    if (succeeded) {
       //do work
    } else {
      //bad stuff
    }
}];

Just set the userName to the the email address AND if you read the header files for Parse API, you find this:

 @abstract Signs up the user *asynchronously*.

 @discussion This will also enforce that the username isn't already taken.

 @warning Make sure that password and username are set before calling this method.

 @param block The block to execute.
 It should have the following argument signature: `^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error)`.
 */
- (void)signUpInBackgroundWithBlock:(PF_NULLABLE PFBooleanResultBlock)block;

This means that you must have a userName declared in the PFUser. So, change from this:

var user = PFUser()
user.email = emlEntered
user.password = pwdEntered
user.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock {

to this:

func myMethod() {
  var user = PFUser()
  user.username = "myUsername"
  user.password = "myPassword"
  user.email = "email@example.com"
  // other fields can be set just like with PFObject
  user["phone"] = "415-392-0202"

  user.signUpInBackgroundWithBlock {
    (succeeded: Bool, error: NSError?) -> Void in
    if let error = error {
      let errorString = error.userInfo?["error"] as? NSString
      // Show the errorString somewhere and let the user try again.
    } else {
      // Hooray! Let them use the app now.
    }
  }
}
