Query on multiple values in Firebase, similar to IN() SQL functionality

Question

I have an array that looks like this:

validZipCodes = [
  \"84606\",
  \"84605\",
  \"84601\"
]

I\'m querying some data like this:

Answer 1

The Firebase .equalTo() documentation states that the value argument should be one of the following types: String, Number, Null, or Boolean.

• You are getting an invalid data-type error because you are not passing one of these types.

• There is no method like .inArray() (i.e. querying for equalTo multiple values).

You can review all of the Firebase Query Methods in the Query documentation, which also suggests:

Read our documentation on ordering and querying data for more information and examples.

Answer 2

Here is how I eventually did it:

With the foreach command you can easily manipulate data and then push it into an array to re-create a collection of data however you need it.

$scope.validZipCodes = [];
$scope.validContractorJobs = [];

var Jobs = firebase.child('Jobs');

contractorJobs.on('value', function(snap) {
            snap.forEach(function(job) {
                angular.forEach($scope.validZipCodes, function(value, key) {
                    if(job.val().ZipCode == value) {
                        $scope.validContractorJobs.push(job.val());
                    }
                });
            });
        });
