Trying to access the first child of a firebase object is my current challenge. The reference is structured as follows:
var sitesToVisitRef = firebase.database().ref('sitesToVisit')
The reference is confirmed functional as I am able to write to it. The data structure may resemble the following:
sitesToVisit:
techcrunch-com:
url: "https://techcrunch.com"
However, extracting the key (e.g., techcrunch-com) poses a difficulty in retrieving the URL.
My attempt involves the following code snippet:
var nextUrl;
sitesToVisitRef.limitToFirst(1).once('value', function(snapshot) {
console.log("snapshot key" + snapshot.key);
console.log("snapshot.val.url = " + snapshot.val().url);
console.log("snapshot.val" + snapshot.val());
nextUrl = snapshot.val().url;
}
});
Unfortunately, the log for snapshot.key displays "sitesToVisit" instead of the specific key like "techcrunch-com".
Any assistance on this matter would be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
