Trying to convert object mapper model to array - arrays

Question

I'm new to Swift and have asked a few questions that I was somewhat confused about how to get the correct type for my object, but I believe I've figured it out.
I have a User object that is an Object Mapper model.
I am trying to convert this Object Mapper model to an Array.
https://github.com/Hearst-DD/ObjectMapper
However I am getting the error Cannot specialize a non-generic definition
Here is the variable I am trying to cast:
fileprivate var userDataSource = Mapper<User>().Array<Any>(User)
And an extension for its definition:
extension AccountViewController: GetUserDelegate {
func getUserSuccess(user: User) {
self.userDataSource = User
}
}
The original mapping to a model is done here:
guard let user = Mapper<User>().map(JSONObject: value)
The user class looks like this:
class User: Mappable {
required init?(map: Map) {
}
init() {}
var id: Int?
var firstName: String?
var lastName: String?
var displayName: String?
var image: URL?
var about: String?
var email: String?
var password: String?
var authToken: String?
I can include more if desired.
What am I misunderstanding here? None of the examples I'm seeing for this error really seem to apply to my situation.
Desired ultimate output:
["Name", "Bob Jim"],
["MC #", "1234567"],
["Company Name", "Bob's Truckin"],
["Truck Type", "Flat Bed"],
["Cell", "[phone]"],
["Dispatch", "[phone]"],
["Favorite Destinations", "Los Angeles"]

I gather you want an array of Users as the datasource,
I'd declare it like any other array:
var userDataSource = [User]()
or
var userDataSource = Array<User>()
And to update the datasource,
extension AccountViewController: GetUserDelegate {
func getUserSuccess(user: User) {
self.userDataSource.append(user)
}
}
