Firebase Web get in realtime database throwing error though path is correct-CodePudding

import section:

...
import { ref, getDownloadURL, deleteObject } from "firebase/storage";
import { child, get } from "firebase/database";
...

This is the code:

function getDirectLink() {
    console.log(realtimeDatabase)
    try {
      get(child(ref(realtimeDatabase), `qrCodes/`   currentUser.uid   "/"))
      .then((snapshot) => {
        console.log(snapshot)
        if (snapshot.exists()) {
          var data = snapshot.val();
          if (data["direct_link"]) {
            setDirectLink(data["direct_link"]);
          }
        }
      })
      .catch((error) => {
        console.error(error);
      });
    } catch (error) {
      console.log(error);
    }
  }

This is the error:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'pieceNum_')

I know realtimeDatabase has been initialised properly. As I am using the same variable in other functions as well (which work without any error).

Also I got this database instance exactly as is suggested in https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/start#add_the_js_sdk_and_initialize

console output of realtimeDatabase:

CodePudding user response：

The problem lies in the import section. You tried to use ref from firebase/storage. Whereas, it should be from firebase/database.

Do it like this:

import { child, get, ref as databaseRef } from "firebase/database";

.......

get(child(databaseRef(realtimeDatabase), `qrCodes/`   currentUser.uid   "/"))
