Access db data in Cloud Functions for Firebase

Question

In Cloud Functions for Firebase, for example:

exports.makeUppercase = functions.database.ref(\'/messages/{pushId}/original\')
    .onWrite(event => {
           


        

Answer 1

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);

exports.makeUppercase = functions.database.ref('/messages/{pushId}/original')
    .onWrite(event => {
     const getSomethingPromise = admin.database().ref(`/important/messages/{pushId}`).once('value');

     return getSomethingPromise.then(results => {
        const somethingSnapshot = results[0];

        // Do something with the snapshot
    })
})
