- Retrieve String out of addValueEventListener Firebase 3 answers
I am trying to define a ref in vuefire to firebase path that depends on the current User. Is it possible to bring the "user" object to the "top level" and access it from outside the "on.AuthSateChanged(user => .... }" ?
firebase-config.js
import * as firebase from "firebase";
var config = {
apiKey: "XXXXXX",
authDomain: "XXXXXX.firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://XXXXXX.firebaseio.com",
projectId: "XXXXXX",
storageBucket: "XXXXXX.appspot.com",
messagingSenderId: "XXXXXX"
};
firebase.initializeApp(config)
export default !firebase.apps.length ? firebase.initializeApp(config) : firebase;
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
if (user) {
let userRef = firebase.database().ref('users').child(user.uid);
let buildingsRef = userRef.child('buildings');
}
})();
console.log(buildingsRef); //returning undefined=
export const db = firebase.database();
export const usersRef = db.ref('users');
export const buildingsRef = db.ref('users'+ "/" +buildingsRef)
// I will deal with this later
// export const deptsRef = db.ref('depts');
// export const roomsRef = db.ref('rooms');

import { usersRef } from '../firebase-config';
export default {
firebase() {
return {
buildings: buildingsRef,
users: usersRef,
}
},
name: 'buildingsadd',
data () {
return {
initialmsg: "Add building's details:",
newBuilding: {
name: '',
address: '',
comments: '',
ownerID: '',
}
}
},
methods: {
setUser() {
this.$store.dispatch('setUser');
},
addBuilding: function () {
let userId = firebase.auth().currentUser.uid;
let buildingKey = buildingsRef.push().key
this.newBuilding.ownerID = userId;
buildingsRef.child(buildingKey).set(this.newBuilding);
usersRef.child(userId).child('isAdmin').child(buildingKey).set(true);
},
},
computed: {
formIsValid() {
return this.newBuilding.name !== '';
},
},
}
Alternatively an answer to this question would also solve my specific problem. How to constrain read/write rules to the users that create the nodes while keeping this structure?
I would really appreciate your help. thanks!
