Cant find the data of my firebase realtime database

[Pablo]

Hello everyone.
I am new to thunkable.
I already have firebase database configured, I already set the api key and dabatase url, and now what? I can’t find anywhere the database component, or whatever it’s called. I don’t know where it appears or where to see a tutorial, because all there are for an old version.
Can someone help me? g
thanks

In the new version (DnD UI) Firebase data can be read using cloud variables. You do not need any other components. When you add a variable, the default is app variable but you can change the app to cloud or stored. When you use cloud as the variable type, the variable name becomes the database key.

Let me know if this is not clear enough and you need code examples.

Thanks Munner.
Yes please, do you have a example?

[muneer]

In my Firebase Database, I have a master key (Bucket) called myBooks. In this example I am referring to the content of the keys in two ways

• Fixed variables, where you need to initialize them
• Dynamic variables where you use this in the code and can use other variables in the key name.

thanks.
The old version looks more easy. I will figure how this works.

Hi there, This realtime DB block is the same as this cloud variable block: [image] [Screen Shot 2021-05-24 at 8.00.32 AM] And this realtimeDB block is the same as this cloud variable block: [image] [Screen Shot 2021-05-24 at 8.01.27 AM] I am using dynamically named variables here, so you don’t even need an initialize block! Does that help you understand how to use cloud variables instead of the Realtime DB component in your Drag and Drop project?

Hi Munner, me again.
I can get a value, but i cant get a lis of values. I saw on the exaple this function:

This block is only available in the StP UI (also called the Legacy UI). This block is not available in DnD UI.

Which UI are you using DnD (Drag and Drop) or StP (Snap to Place)?

@muneer

StP UI

oh! it was driving me crazy because in all the examples there was that block and I couldn’t find it.
Now I will start the project in StP UI.
Thank you!

Hi. I am Ahmed
I am using the DnD UI and I couldn’t find the realtime DB block.
Can someone help me?

Dude, the DnD UI doesn’t have the realtime DB Block for that, you need to either switch to StP UI or create a new App with StD UI, else if you want to keep using DnD, then just ue the initialize Cloud with save variable, as it works the same.
