How to set Firebase database rules for group messaging app
I have set Firebase database rules for a group messaging app. But now even when an authenticated user tries to send a message it doesn't get displayed.
I am working on a group messaging app. The code can be found at the following link. When creating the app I was using default rules for the Firebase database. But now I am trying set rules so that all the uid available in the members node can see or send messages to that particular group. Below are the latest set of rules that I have created. Below is my detailed database structure after a plan is created. Please note that I am making use of Firebase Phone Authentication. For this reason I am creating a users node which keeps track of uid against every registered number. When a user selects members to be added to the group I check those numbers against their respective uid's and then add those uid's in the member's node.
{
"rules": {
"plan":{
"$planID":{
"messages":{
".read":"data.parent().child('members').child(auth.uid).exists()",
".write":"data.parent().child('members').child(auth.uid).exists()"
}
}
}
}
}
I expected authenticated users who have been added to the members node to be able to read and send messages but instead even the registered users themselves cannot create a new group or read the messages after the above rules have been published.

When defining every sub-node as Integers, starting from zero (as you did in
members), Firebase automatically interprets the whole node as it if was an Array of Objects, and in such case you cannot treat them as if they were sub-nodes at all (by callingchild(auth.uid)).
Quote from the link:
In particular, if all of the keys are integers, and more than half of the keys between 0 and the maximum key in the object have non-empty values, then Firebase will render it as an array. This latter part is important to keep in mind.
Since this is the case in your Data Structure, all of
members' sub-nodes are no longer considered nodes. They are array items, and therefore are notchildrenofmembers.
Even if it weren't the case, and they were all sub-nodes - you seem to call
child(auth.uid)as ifauth.uidwas an Integer: Your "sub-nodes" are all Integers, whileauth.uidis defined String.
