ViewsHow can I get the id of a inserted document firebase-admin
I am handling some documents with firebase realtime database. I need to delete a document that I don't have the access to read it client side via SDK. In order to do that I need to know what is the id, so I should store it in my db (mongo) and when I need to delete a document on firebase I just get it from my DB and the I delete it.
I took a look to this answer but it doesn't work for me.
I insert documents into my firebase DB with this method (server side using firebase-admin)
const writeNotification = (uid: string, notification: INotification) => {
const db = admin.database();
const notsRef = db.ref(`notifications/${uid}`);
notsRef.push({
..._.omit(notification, 'to'),
});
};
If I do notsRef.id I get undefined.
How can I get the ID of my document that I have just inserted?
p.s. my documents are organized like this:

The answer you are looking at is about Firestore and not Realtime Database that you are using. The Reference has a key property and not id:
console.log('New Key', notsRef.key)
// to get child node's key
const childNotesRef = notsRef.push({
..._.omit(notification, 'to'),
});
console.log(childNotesRef.key)
