Getting Node Names From Firebase Database Based On Emailid Match

I have the below Json schema , what firebase query can I use to get the node name(0153,0154) , I am able to get the name(joel,vikram,sachin) using once method 'EmployeeInfo':

Solution 1:

To get the key of the childSnapshot call childSnapshot.key:

.then(function(snapshot) {
    snapshot.forEach(function(childSnapshot) {
        childKey = childSnapshot.key; // Get the key of the child
        childData = childSnapshot.val();
        name = childData.Name;
        var n = login.localeCompare(name);
        console.log(name);

        if (n != 0) {
            var eid = snapshot.val();
            console.log("Hello" + eid);
        }
        console.log(snapshot.val());
    })
})

Solution 2:

There is now a shallow command in the REST API that will fetch just the keys for a path. This has not been added to the SDKs yet.

In Firebase, you can't obtain a list of node names without retrieving the data underneath. Not yet anyways. The performance problems can be addressed with normalization.

Essentially, your goal is to split data into consumable chunks. Store your list of video keys, possible with a couple meta fields like title, etc, in one path, and store the bulk content somewhere else. For '/video_meta/id/link, title, ... /video_lines/id/...'

To get the "name" of any snapshot (in this case, the ID created by push()) just call name() like this:

var name = snapshot.name();

If you want to get the name that has been auto-generated by push(), you can just call name() on the returned reference, like so:

var newRef = myDataRef.push(...);
var newID = newRef.name();
