Firebase - how to get the key value in observeEventType = Value

Question

This is a follow up question to Firebase - proper way to structure the DB

I have the following DB structure:

\"artists\" : {
  \"-KKMkpA22PeoHtBAPyKm         


        

Answer 1

Here's a solution.

let ref = self.myRootRef.childByAppendingPath("artists")

ref.queryOrderedByChild("name").queryEqualToValue("Skillet")
     .observeEventType(.Value, withBlock: { snapshot in

     if ( snapshot.value is NSNull ) {
          print("Skillet was not found")
     } else {
          for child in snapshot.children {   //in case there are several skillets
               let key = child.key as String
               print(key)
          }
     }
})
