Push multiple objects at once

How can I do multiple object pushes at once with angularfire2?

Just pushing an array of objects doesn't set keys for each object.

this.af.database.list('/symbols/').push({
  typ: "symbol1",
  // ....
});
this.af.database.list('/symbols/').push({
  typ: "symbol2",
  // ....
});
Solution

  • With the regular Firebase JavaScript SDK, you can accomplish this with:

    var updates = {};
updates['/symbols/'+ref.push().key] = {
  typ :"symbol1", ....
};
updates['/symbols/'+ref.push().key] = {
  typ :"symbol2", ....
};
ref.update(updates);

    Since AngularFire2 is built on top of the normal Firebase JavaScript SDK, they interop perfectly. So you can just use the Firebase JavaScript SDK for this operation.
