Setting custom key when pushing new data to firebase database

Question

Well, I am new to Firebase and I want to have my own keys while pushing new data to database.

Problem:

FireBase.push().setValue(mapped_values);
         


        

Answer 1

You can create a custom key using setValue() even if the root contains many children for example if 'Users' is the root and you want to add users with email as a key it will be like this

firebase.child("firebase url").child("Users").child("user_1 email").setValue(...)

firebase.child("firebase url").child("Users").child("user_2 email").setValue(...)

etc

Hope this helps.
