Error "is in list?" with a list as an argument

[st4rb00y]

Hi, I'm working with this realtime-database in Firebase:

So I want to know if an user is in the list "Jugadores_inscritos", but when I call the "is in list?" procedure it fails

I hope you can help me, Thanks!

Jugadores_inscritos is an empty list as shwon in firebase structure. Also note that when tag list contains only integers like 1, 2, 3… Get tag list block will not work properly so use tags in the form of 01,02,03....or A1,A2,...etc

Thanks for replying! I didn't understand why having an empty list is getting a error, why didn't return false?

About the 1, 2, 3 tags, I was looking at the JSON file and, for some reason, Equipos is saving the data inside a list, instead of a dictionary, can it be because what you said?

Edit: Now I'm saving the ID as A0000, A0001, etc. and this changed to a dictionary of dictionaries, but still returning something else instead of a list for "Jugadores_inscritos"

I checked if empty lists can be stored and queried directly in Firebasedb, and it worked for me.
However, that leaves the question of how you built the dictionary in that element of list Equipos.

It seems that I'm saving a string instead of a list when I'm retrieving the data, since this procedure is returning a double quote string

And the APP shows the quotes

Hi, I'm working with Firebase but when I try to retrieve the data I get double quote strings instead of a string and a string instead of a list

How important is your existing database structure? If all the work being done is "in the app", then it would make sense to save entire records as a list in a single tag. The you don't have to mess around with dictionaries and parsing anything like what you are doing at the moment.

You can always do some manipulation of your returned strings:

Thanks for replying. I did that but even now when I'm saving it right it's returning a string when trying to get a list

Eliminar, Modificar y Buscar con Firebase

Here is a very simple example of a CRUD using Firebase. There are no security rules in place. The Project Bucket is set to "FBCRUDNoRules". [image] [image] [blocks (3)] FirebaseCRUDNoRulesBlank.aia (5.2 KB) (you will need to add your own API Key and Firebase url)

After reading it I realized that when you try .getValue to a ProjectBucket you get a string of the structure and not the structure itself (as I tought), so you must to clean all the quotes and "".

I will start from scratch and catch just the data from the selected item, since your example is much better. Thank you very much!
