ios - How do I associate a firebase sub-entry to a main entry? (explanation in comments) -
the json:
{ "coffee-shops" : { "-kj4i4d-jrqrzc9wp42c" : { "coffeeshopname" : "starbucks", "coffeeshoprating" : 3.5, "-kj4vvb51wx9npektjxq" : { "coffeeshopname" : "starbucks", "coffeeshoprating" : 1, "coffeeshopreview" : "r", "coffeeshopreviewername" : "charles" }, "-kjej6mpqwohcay_9k6v" : { "coffeeshopname" : "starbucks", "coffeeshoprating" : 4, "coffeeshopreview" : "b", "coffeeshopreviewername" : "charles" } } }, "users" : { "02a54e06-9635-4e22-9bb7-c0ddcd9c6f4f" : { "email" : "charles@gmail.com", "provider" : "password", "username" : "thecoffeeguy" }, "03fe2c17-3c66-442c-a63d-4a1e02fd660c" : { "email" : "test@gmail.com", "provider" : "password", "username" : "charles" }, "16a7279f-5478-4f3f-b5f8-2f261d166d92" : { "email" : "tester@gmail.com", "provider" : "password", "username" : "haha" }, "23275f65-8e16-4ede-9236-21485b7493b9" : { "email" : "boo@gmail.com", "provider" : "password", "username" : "boo" }, "a5ed6962-76bc-476a-b432-6787e45badfc" : { "email" : "mesbekmek@gmail.com", "provider" : "password", "username" : "mesbekmek" } } } some context: i'm making coffee app , need have reviews specific coffee shop user at. right now, reviews have ever been made show on tableview.
this isn't "how code" question, me wondering how approach , how might solve it.
this think should do:
get specific coffee shop's uuid
iterate on reviews because sub-entries in coffee shop model
get data iterating on reviews, see if uuid of cell(?) selected matches review uuid
this doesn't sound right me, great.
you can organize db in different way.
coffee-shops: |--coffeeid1 |--coffeeid2 |--coffeeid3 reviews: |--coffeeid1 |----reviewid1 |----reviewid2 |--coffeeid2 |----reviewidx |----reviewidxx when insert review can use same key of coffee-shop.
in way reviews of same coffee shop under same ref.
you can achieve using this:
ref(reviews).child(coffeeshop.getkey()).push();
