I have an object that I want to push to the firebase realtime database, looking like this:
userProfile = { name: "Jon", age: 25, gender: "male", ...plenty more attributes}
If I want it in firebase, I could write it like this:
return firebase.database().ref('/userProfile').push({
name: userProfile.name,
age: userProfile.age,
gender: userProfile.gender,
....
}).
But since I have plenty of objects with many attributes I would prefer not writing it by hand. Loops are not allowed in push (). I could push the whole object like this:
return firebase.database().ref('/userProfile').push({
userProfile: userProfile
}).
But it will create an additional child node like
ref/userProfile/123someId/userProfile/name
which is bad practise because it disallows using filters and more later on.
Is there a more effective way to push the attributes of an entire object without writing down every key/value pair?
