I'm attempting to add/remove entries from a Firebase database. I want to list them in a table to be added/modified/removed (front end) but I need a way to uniquely identify each entry in order to modify/remove. Firebase adds a unique identifier by default when using push(), but I didn't see anything referencing how to select this unique identifier in the API documentation. Can this even be done? Should I be using set() instead so I'm creating the unique ID?
I've put this quick example together using their tutorial:
<div id='messagesDiv'></div>
<input type='text' class="td-field" id='nameInput' placeholder='Name'>
<input type='text' class="td-field" id='messageInput' placeholder='Message'>
<input type='text' class="td-field" id='categoryInput' placeholder='Category'>
<input type='text' class="td-field" id='enabledInput' placeholder='Enabled'>
<input type='text' class="td-field" id='approvedInput' placeholder='Approved'>
<input type='Button' class="td-field" id='Submit' Value="Revove" onclick="msgRef.remove()">
<script>
var myDataRef = new Firebase('https://unique.firebase.com/');
$('.td-field').keypress(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
var name = $('#nameInput').val();
var text = $('#messageInput').val();
var category = $('#categoryInput').val();
var enabled = $('#enabledInput').val();
var approved = $('#approvedInput').val();
myDataRef.push({name: name, text: text, category: category, enabled: enabled, approved: approved });
$('#messageInput').val('');
}
});
myDataRef.on('child_added', function(snapshot) {
var message = snapshot.val();
displayChatMessage(message.name, message.text, message.category, message.enabled, message.approved);
});
function displayChatMessage(name, text, category, enabled, approved, ) {
$('<div/>').text(text).prepend($('<em/>').text(name+' : '+category +' : '+enabled +' : '+approved+ ' : ' )).appendTo($('#messagesDiv'));
$('#messagesDiv')[0].scrollTop = $('#messagesDiv')[0].scrollHeight;
};
</script>
Now lets assume I have three rows of data:
fred : 1 : 1 : 1 : test message 1
fred : 1 : 1 : 1 : test message 2
fred : 1 : 1 : 1 : test message 3
How do I go about uniquely identifying row 2?
in the Firebase Database they look like this:
-DatabaseName
-IuxeSuSiNy6xiahCXa0
approved: "1"
category: "1"
enabled: "1"
name: "Fred"
text: "test message 1"
-IuxeTjwWOhV0lyEP5hf
approved: "1"
category: "1"
enabled: "1"
name: "Fred"
text: "test message 2"
-IuxeUWgBMTH4Xk9QADM
approved: "1"
category: "1"
enabled: "1"
name: "Fred"
text: "test message 3"
