How to insert the currentUser email into the Realtime Database
Everytime i tried inserting the users email into the database, there will be an error saying "First Arguement is an invalid path".How do i get pass this
return (
<View style={styles.MainContainer}>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>Rate this Song</Text>
<Text style={styles.textStyleSmall}> {list.title}</Text>
<Text style={styles.textStyleSmall}> {list.artist}</Text>
{/*View to hold our Stars*/}
<View style={styles.childView}>{React_Native_Rating_Bar}</View>
<Text style={styles.textStyle}>
{/*To show the rating selected*/}
{this.state.Default_Rating} / {this.state.Max_Rating}
</Text>
<TouchableOpacity
activeOpacity={0.7}
style={styles.button}
onPress={() => {
firebase.database().ref("Song title: "+ list.title +''+ "Artist: "+ list.artist + currentUser.email).set({Ratings : (this.state.Default_Rating)})
alert('Thank you')}
}>
<Text>Continue</Text>
</TouchableOpacity>
<Text>
{currentUser && currentUser.email}
</Text>
</View>
);
}
The expected result is when i view the database in firebase, the users account name should be there alongside with the title an artist name

What exactly is this line of code supposed to do?firebase.database().ref("Song title: "+ list.title +''+ "Artist: "+ list.artist + currentUser.email).set({Ratings : (this.state.Default_Rating)})? That's a very unconventional looking database reference. What does it mean for the account name to "be there"?

The way you are creating your song ratings key is error prone because you are not checking if it conforms to the limitations of a Firebase database key:
- Maximum 768 Bytes
- Keys are UTF-8 encoded and can't contain new lines or any of the following characters:
. $ # [ ] / or any ASCII control characters (0x00 - 0x1F and 0x7F)
You are already certainly breaking the second constraint since email addresses are containing at least one . character.
firebase.database().ref("Song title: "+ list.title +''+ "Artist: "+ list.artist + currentUser.email).set({Ratings : (this.state.Default_Rating)})
Consider sanitizing the data before using it as a key or finding a structure where you don't use arbitrary data such as "song titles" and "artist names" to become keys without first being sanitized.
Sidenote: you probably don't want to store all data as "root nodes" in your database. Consider structuring them under a "ratings" node first.
If all you need is a unique key to directly address a user's rating for the current song by a certain artist, then you can create a hash over that string to create a valid Firebase key.
firebase.database().ref("ratings").child(MD5(list.title + list.artist + currentUser.email)).set({Ratings : (this.state.Default_Rating)})
