How to nest data in Firebase Realtime database (Swift)

Question

My database in Firebase currently looks like this:

locations: {

    person: ""

    location: ""

}

How do I nest the data so that it looks something like this:

locations: {

    person: "" {

        location: ""

}

}

A structure where locations is the parent, person is the child, and location is the child of person.

I know the relationships, I just am not too sure of the syntax.

Here is the code I currently have, written in Swift:

let locRef = locationRef.childByAutoId()

let locItem = [

    "location": getLocation(),

    "person": senderId

]



locRef.setValue(locItem)

Thanks.

Answer 1

let locRef = locationRef.childByAutoId()
let locItem = [
    senderId : [
        "location": getLocationID()
    ]
]

SenderID will be the key for the person, so you can find the Person by its ID... And the ID is holding a nested location key

Do you only need the logic? Or do you need working code example?
