How to perform sql “LIKE” operation on firebase?

Question

I am using firebase for data storage. The data structure is like this:

products:{
   product1:{
      name:\"chocolate\",
   }
   product2:{
      name:\"cho         


        

Answer 1

I believe you can do :

admin
.database()
.ref('/vals')
.orderByChild('name')
.startAt('cho')
.endAt("cho\uf8ff")
.once('value')
.then(c => res.send(c.val()));

this will find vals whose name are starting with cho.
