firebase database structure

[ragnar-homekit]

hi can you tell me how to structure the database on farebase?

[Sam1247]

it's quite complex but bare with me

Direct

• messages (which contains all messages per user)

• messagesPreview (which contains only the last message for each user)

FeedPosts

• contains all posts to display for user

Comments

• PostId -> userId -> comment

Followers and Followings

Likes

Posts

• posts -> userId -> postsId -> postInfo

Users

I see that it is quite articulated. I try to build it. thank you very much

[Sam1247]

You're welcome 😊

sorry if I keep asking for info, but the rules of the database, some I have understood, others not.

[Sam1247]

Feel free to ask anything but please be specific as you can, FYI Firebase is not a sql database it's a nosql database that has rules not tied to sql but it's much easier thought.

I try to explain myself, to register the user correctly I had to set it like this:

"rules": {
"users": {
"$uid": {
".read": "$uid === auth.uid",
".write": "$uid === auth.uid"

the user search does not work, on xcode i have this error, lost both for a question of permissions

Failed to fetch users for search: Error Domain=com.firebase Code=1 "Permission Denied" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Permission Denied}

if you can export a standard copy of your test database, in json format, I would appreciate it
