Populate

Populate Key Within Items in a List

Populate the owner of each item in a todos list from the 'users' root.

Examples

Populate List of Items

import { compose } from 'redux'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { firebaseConnect, populate } from 'react-redux-firebase'

const populates = [
  { child: 'owner', root: 'users' }
]

const enhance = compose(
  firebaseConnect([
    { path: 'todos', populates }
  ]),
  connect(
    ({ firebase }) => ({
      todos: populate(firebase, 'todos', populates),
    })
  )  
)

export default enhance(SomeComponent)

Populate Profile Parameters

To Populate parameters within profile/user object, include the profileParamsToPopulate parameter within your configuration as well as using populate.

NOTE Using profileParamsToPopulate no longer automatically populates profile, you must use populate. Un-populated profile lives within state under state.firebase.profile.

Examples

Populate Role

Populating a user's role parameter from a list of roles (under roles collection).

export const profilePopulates = [{ child: 'role', root: 'roles' }]
const config = {
  userProfile: 'users',
  profileParamsToPopulate: profilePopulates // populate list of todos from todos ref
}

// Wrapping some component
connect(
  ({ firebase }) => ({
    profile: firebase.profile,
    populatedProfile: populate(firebase, 'profile', profilePopulates),
  })
)(SomeComponent)
