how to fetch data from firebase and display in HTML templates (django)

Question

view.py

def show(request):
    c_name=database.child('shortterm').get().val()
    return render(request,"index.html",{"c_name":c_name})

firebase

index.html

<p>{{ c_name }}</p>

how to fetch multiple objects (under shortterm node) from firebase and display in table format?

Answer 1

You're loading the entire shortterm node from the database, so your c_name variable ends up being that entire branch of your database as a dictionary/map.

Since you won't know the push key (`"-Msyly..."), you will need to loop over the results to get that:

def show(request):
    data=database.child('shortterm').get().val()
    for key in data:
        print(key, data[key])
        c_name = data[key]
    return render(request,"index.html",{"c_name":c_name})
