In my firebase web app when new users signup with their email i create a node under their email adress under the root ref
But the problem is using push() method to add every new user to the database every user is created with a unique key like below
-users
----ASFTU578FE
---------user: [email protected]
----FDWWE36S46
---------user: [email protected]
----WERSRTT23W
---------user: [email protected]
Now how can i access the path for a user since i dont know the unque key that will be created for every new user
Is there a way to push new user without a unique key but the key i know like user.displayName or user.email
Calling push
generates a location with an auto-calculated key.
To write a child at a path that you determine the key yourself, you simply call child("key").set(value)
.
If you store Firebase Authentication users in your database, the idiomatic way is to store them under their uid.
var user = firebase.auth().currentUser;
var usersRef = firebase.database().ref("users");
if (user) {
usersRef.child(user.uid).set({
displayName: displayName,
email: email,
photoUrl: photoUrl,
emailVerified: emailVerified
});
}
