How do i differentiate between different level of users in firebaseAuth

问题

I have two different types of users Teachers and Students . I use Firebase Auth with Email and password to Authenticate them and store them in the Firebase Real time database . My question is is there a way to create custom accesor methods such as getCurrentUser().getEmail, getDisplayname etc . I need to display different UI for different user type (Teacher/Student) from the current user-type

回答1:

You got 2 type of users. So first of all, you can make only one firebase structure for both user and just add a boolean variable TEACHER that indicates if a user is a teacher or a student.

But what I usually do is to seperate the users in two different firebase structures meaning that you should create a firebase path teacher/user_id and an another student/user_id which will give you flexibility with retreiving data and display the data in different UI.
