I plan to create a main tree named users which will include the name different users used as username. So, from each username will be included their data eg Full Name, Address, Phone No.
I want to know how to get each user's data when they log in on their profile.
First of all i suggest you spend some time getting familiar with firebase by reading the Firebase Guide ( Link to old Firebase Guide ). Everything you need to know to answer your own question is available there. But for simplicity i will put an example here:
Lets start with security, here are the basic firebase rules you need for this example: (source: Understanding Security ) (old source: Understanding Security )
{
"rules": {
"users": {
"$user_id": {
".write": "$user_id === auth.uid"
}
}
}
}
I will skip the actual user creation and logging in and focus on the question about storing and retrieving user data.
Storing data: (source: Firebase Authentication ) (old source: User Authentication )
// Get a reference to the database service
var database = firebase.database();
// save the user's profile into Firebase so we can list users,
// use them in Security and Firebase Rules, and show profiles
function writeUserData(userId, name, email, imageUrl) {
firebase.database().ref('users/' + userId).set({
username: name,
email: email
//some more user data
});
}
The resulting firebase data will look like this:
{
"users": {
"simplelogin:213": {
"username": "password",
"email": "bobtony"
},
"twitter:123": {
"username": "twitter",
"email": "Andrew Lee"
},
"facebook:456": {
"username": "facebook",
"email": "James Tamplin"
}
}
}
And last but not least the retreiving of the data, this can be done in several ways but for this example i'm gonna use a simple example from the firebase guide: (source: Read and Write data ) (old source: Retreiving Data )
//Get the current userID
var userId = firebase.auth().currentUser.uid;
//Get the user data
return firebase.database().ref('/users/' + userId).once('value').then(function(snapshot) {
//Do something with your user data located in snapshot
});
EDIT: Added example of return data
So when you are logged in as user twitter:123 you will get a reference to the location based on your user id and will get this data:
"twitter:123": {
"username": "twitter",
"email": "Andrew Lee"
}
Though I agree with Andre about setting the rules for good security - I would handle the data a bit differently. Instead of generating the string I use the child()
method. It's a matter of personal preference.
Get the UID and define a data object:
let user = firebase.auth().currentUser
let uid = user.uid
let yourdata = { foo: 'something', bar: 'other'}
Save the data:
firebase.database().ref('users').child(uid).set(yourdata)
.then((data) => {
console.log('Saved Data', data)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('Storing Error', error)
})
Fetch the data:
firebase.database().ref('users').child(uid).once('value')
.then((data) => {
let fetchedData = data.val()
console.log('Fetched Data', fetchedData)
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log('Fetching Error', error)
})
Please notice that set()
will override your data so you might want to use push()
later on.
