firebase::database::MutableData

#include <mutable_data.h>

Instances of this class encapsulate the data and priority at a location.

Summary

It is used in transactions, and it is intended to be inspected and then updated to the desired data at that location.

Public functions

Child

MutableDataChild(constchar*path)

Used to obtain a MutableData instance that encapsulates the data and priority at the given relative path.

Note that changes made to a child MutableData instance will be visible to the parent and vice versa.

Details
Parameters
path
Path relative to this snapshot's location. The pointer only needs to be valid during this call.
Returns
MutableData for the Child relative to this location. The memory will be freed when the Transaction is finished.

Child

MutableDataChild(conststd::string&path)

Used to obtain a MutableData instance that encapsulates the data and priority at the given relative path.

Details
Parameters
path
Path relative to this snapshot's location.
Returns
MutableData for the Child relative to this location. The memory will be freed when the Transaction is finished.

HasChild

boolHasChild(constchar*path)const

Does this MutableData have data at a particular location?

Details
Parameters
path
Path relative to this data's location. The pointer only needs to be valid during this call.
Returns
True if there is data at the specified location, false if not.

HasChild

boolHasChild(conststd::string&path)const

Does this MutableData have data at a particular location?

Details
Parameters
path
Path relative to this data's location.
Returns
True if there is data at the specified location, false if not.

children

std::vector<MutableData>children()

Get all the immediate children of this location.

Details
Returns
The immediate children of this location.

children_count

size_tchildren_count()

Get the number of children of this location.

Details
Returns
The number of immediate children of this location.

key

constchar*key()const

Get the key name of the source location of this data.

Details
Returns
Key name of the source location of this data.

key_string

std::stringkey_string()const

Get the key name of the source location of this data.

Details
Returns
Key name of the source location of this data.

priority

Variantpriority()

Get the priority of the data contained at this snapshot.

Details
Returns
The value of this location's Priority relative to its siblings.

set_priority

voidset_priority(constVariant&priority)

Sets the priority of this field, which controls its sort order relative to its siblings.

See also:firebase::database::DatabaseReference::SetPriority() for information on how Priority affects the ordering of a node's children.

Details
Parameters
priority
Sort priority for this child relative to its siblings. The Variant types accepted are Null, Int64, Double, and String. Other types will return kErrorInvalidVariantType.

set_value

voidset_value(constVariant&value)

Sets the data at this location to the given value.

Details
Parameters
value
The value to set this location to. The Variant's type corresponds to the types accepted by the database JSON: Null: Deletes this location from the database. Int64: Inserts an integer value into this location. Double: Inserts a floating point value into this location. String: Inserts a string into this location. (Accepts both Mutable and Static strings) Vector: Inserts a JSON array into this location. The elements can be any Variant type, including Vector and Map. Map: Inserts a JSON associative array into this location. The keys must be of type String (or Int64/Double which are converted to String). The values can be any Variant type, including Vector and Map.

value

Variantvalue()const

Get the value of the data contained at this location.

Details
Returns
The value of the data contained at this location.

~MutableData

~MutableData()

Destructor.
