Firebase DataStructure

I am trying to create a "Users" list. But I am not able to replicate the way it is structured in the docs https://www.firebase.com/images/data_structure.png.

Instead my structure has a Users with child nodes having some raw text. https://www.evernote.com/shard/s52/sh/21c878d6-4978-440c-a089-10da4fb6d792/2d0d7a90861ef6f94e425fdb904b8ab2 Instead I want child nodes named as 'john','terry' etc as shown in your docs.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks

It looks like you're talking about the keys. In the Firebase example, the keys are things like fred, but in your data they appear as -iKvpJ...

If you insert your records using push, then Firebase automatically assigns the key:

firebase.child('users').push({ name: 'Fred' });

// /users/-KvpJ.../name/Fred

Use child and set to specify your own keys:

firebase.child('users/fred').set({ name: 'Fred' });

// /users/fred/name/Fred
