How to add multiple rooms to this Firebase Swift Chat app
<p>I am making an anonymous chat app, that requires a lot of view controllers and chat rooms. So, I was wondering how I could implement Rooms in firebase with the Security and Rules page. Also what would the code be in my chat view controller if I wanted to have multiple rooms set up. </p>

<p>I have already looked at the IOS Documentation in firebase but it doesn't really make total sense to me. </p>

<p>Here is my ChatViewController for further reference.</p>

<pre><code>class ChatViewController: JSQMessagesViewController {

// MARK: Properties
var messages = [JSQMessage]() // messages is an array to store the various instances of JSQMessage

var outgoingBubbleImageView: JSQMessagesBubbleImage!
var incomingBubbleImageView: JSQMessagesBubbleImage!

// MARK: Firebase refs
// In case you’re wondering, creating another reference doesn’t mean you’re creating another connection. Every reference shares the same connection to the same Firebase database.
let rootRef = Firebase(url: BASE_URL)
var messageRef = Firebase()

var userIsTypingRef: Firebase! // reference that tracks whether the local user is typing
var usersTypingQuery: FQuery!  // FQuery, which is just like a Firebase reference, except that it’s ordered by an order function.

// Typing tracking related properties
private var localTyping = false // Store whether the local user is typing in a private property
var isTyping: Bool {
    get {
        return localTyping
    }
    set {
        // Using a computed property, update userIsTypingRef each time user updates this property.
        localTyping = newValue
        userIsTypingRef.setValue(newValue)
    }
}

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    title = "Main Chat!!"
    setupBubbles()

    // No avatars
    collectionView!.collectionViewLayout.incomingAvatarViewSize = CGSizeZero
    collectionView!.collectionViewLayout.outgoingAvatarViewSize = CGSizeZero

    messageRef = rootRef.childByAppendingPath("messages")
}

    super.viewDidAppear(animated)

    messageRef.removeAllObservers()
}


private func setupBubbles() {
    // JSQMessagesBubbleImageFactory has methods that create the images for the chat bubbles. There’s even a category provided by JSQMessagesViewController that creates the message bubble colors used in the native Messages app.
    let factory = JSQMessagesBubbleImageFactory()
    outgoingBubbleImageView = factory.outgoingMessagesBubbleImageWithColor(UIColor.jsq_messageBubbleBlueColor())
    incomingBubbleImageView = factory.incomingMessagesBubbleImageWithColor(UIColor.jsq_messageBubbleLightGrayColor())

    if message.senderId == senderId { // Check if the message was sent by the local user. If so, return the outgoing image view.
        return outgoingBubbleImageView
    } else {  // If the message was not sent by the local user, return the incoming image view.
        return incomingBubbleImageView
    }
}

// set text color based on who is sending the messages
