How can I pull all the JSON out of firebase on web

I'm pretty new to Firebase and noSQL as a whole, and I am having trouble pulling out all the JSON from the database. I've done the firecast tutorials so I know about pulling out specific values after referencing the database, but that's not what I want. I have a created a basic datatable that populates fields based off of JSON, so I want to pull all the database JSON out of firebase programmatically and do so. When I click export JSON, on my firebase database I get what I would need, but how can I pull that using the API? Below I tried referencing all children and setting it to a pre tag, but nothing shows up: 

const ref = firebase.database().ref().child();
ref.on('value', snap => {
const yo = document.getElementById('test');
yo.innerText = JSON.stringify(snap.val());
});

edit* The below answer is actually correct, I had some errors in my datatable code that was keep the js from even working in the first place

Get rid of .child() would be my first bet. Call .on directly on .ref()
