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

Sam1247 commented 4 years ago

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 commented 4 years ago

You're welcome 😊

ragnar-homekit commented 4 years ago

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

Sam1247 commented 4 years ago

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.

ragnar-homekit commented 4 years ago

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} 2020-04-28 17:21:18.152408+0200 Instagram_Clone_SW5[12178:222485] 5.20.0 - [Firebase/Database][I-RDB038012] Listener at /users failed: permission_denied

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