I have a simple question today.
I retrieve data from my firebase database:
const response = await fetch('For pricacy purpose I replaced this link to my firebase database.'); const resData = await response.json(); console.log(resData);
Also I log the results in the console, the following text is what I retrieve:
Object { "-MPOg49jvG-md0twgj-D": Object { "id": 1, }, "-MPTgHoTXzIcY_KpBHkc": Object { "id": 2, }, "-MPTgmANDZkMv7f_A9TG": Object { "id": 4, }, "-MPTgmc2fuu5XSUawuW7": Object { "id": 3, }, }
Now my question: I want to access not the id that is in the objects but rather the “name” of the object itself. If you look at the first element:
“-MPOg49jvG-md0twgj-D”: Object { “id”: 1, }
i want to access this “-MPOg49jvG-md0twgj-D” and store it in a constant but I dont know how to do it. Any idea would be appriciated.

If I’m understanding correctly, you already fetched resData
as a JavaScript object and want to get the keys? These are some ways that possibly could help you.
const resData = { "-MPOg49jvG-md0twgj-D": { id: 1 }, "-MPTgHoTXzIcY_KpBHkc": { id: 2 }, "-MPTgmANDZkMv7f_A9TG": { id: 4 }, "-MPTgmc2fuu5XSUawuW7": { id: 3 } }; // method 1 console.log(Object.keys(resData)); // method 2 for (const key in resData) { console.log(key, resData[key]); } // method 3 console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(resData));
Hope this can help, please correct me if I got it wrong.
