I want to loop through the data I receive from snapshot.val()
based on user keys and push them into an array. I tried doing it with the help of for..in loop like this,
firebase.database().ref('\interests').child("I would like to dine with").on('value', (snapshot) => {
var data = snapshot.val();
if(snapshot.exists()){
for(let key in data){
console.log("data[key]",data[key]);
this.intVal.push(data[key]);
console.log("intVal",this.intVal);
}
}
})
But I'm getting something like this,
If you notice, my first array contains 1 object under a user key and my second array contains 3 objects under their user keys. How can I push every single value in a separate array?
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
There is a DataSnapshot.forEach()
method precisely for this purpose:
firebase.database().ref('\interests').child("I would like to dine with").on('value', (snapshot) => {
snapshot.forEach((child) => {
console.log(child.key, child.val());
this.intVal.push(child.val());
console.log("intVal",this.intVal);
});
}
})
You can iterate over data again for each object
for(let key in data){
console.log("data[key]",data[key]);
for(innerKey in data[key]){
var obj = {};
obj[innerKey]=data[key][innerKey];
this.intVal.push(obj);
}
console.log("intVal",this.intVal);
}
Have not tested this code yet but should fit your need.
var interest = data.pop();//remove the interest
var uniq = data.reduce((unique, users) => {
for (userId in users) {
if (!userId in unique.IDs) {
unique.IDs[userId] = users[userId];
unique.usersList.push(users[userId]);
}
}
return unique;
}, {IDs:{},usersList :[]});
console.log('interest is', interest);
console.log('uniq user ids', Object.keys(uniq.IDs));
console.log('uniq user list', uniq.usersList);
Just using array map can solve all pain i think.
