Firebase is a product of Google which helps developers to build, manage, and grow their apps easily. It helps developers to build their apps faster and in a more secure way. No programming is required on the firebase side which makes it easy to use its features more efficiently. It provides cloud storage. It uses NoSQL for the storage of data.
Here, We are going to learn How we can search for data in Firebase. To do so follow the below steps:
Step 1: If you are new to firebase then please refer to this.
Step 2: Go to urls.py file and create a path to move to the webpage to search for data.
Python
from django.contrib import adminfrom django.urls import pathfrom . import viewsurlpatterns = [ #when we are moving to search then move to this url path('search/', views.search), #showing search detail on this url path('searchusers/', views.searchusers),] |
Step 3 : Then move to views.py file and write the following function to render to html page.
Python
from django.shortcuts import renderfrom django.views.decorators.http import require_http_methodsfrom django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exemptfrom django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_requiredimport pyrebaseconfig={ "databaseURL": "*********************", "projectId": "*******************", }firebase=pyrebase.initialize_app(config)authe = firebase.auth()database=firebase.database()# move to this search.html page to search for contentdef search(request): return render(request, "search.html") # after typing what to search this function will be calleddef searchusers(request): value = request.POST.get('search') # if no value is given then render to search.h6tml if value =="": return render(request, "search.html") title = request.POST['category'] if title =="": return render(request, "search.html") if value is None or title is None: print(value ,"Value",title) return render(request, "search.html") else: if title == "Users": data = database.child('users').shallow().get().val() uidlist = [] requid = 'null' # append all the id in uidlist for i in data: uidlist.append(i) # if we have find all the uid then # we will look for the one we need for i in uidlist: val = database.child('users').child(i).child('name').get().val() val=val.lower() value=value.lower() print(val,value) # if uid we want is value then # we will store that in requid if (val == value): requid = i if requid=='null': return render(request, "search.html") print(requid) # then we will retrieve all the data related to that uid name = database.child('users').child(requid).child('name').get().val() course = database.child('users').child(requid).child('course').get().val() branch = database.child('users').child(requid).child('branch').get().val() img = database.child('users').child(requid).child('imgUrl').get().val() Name = [] Name.append(name) Course = [] Course.append(course) Branch = [] Branch.append(branch) Image = [] Image.append(img) comb_lis = zip(Name, Course, Branch, Image) # send all data in zip form to searchusers.html return render(request, "SearchUsers.html", {"comb_lis": comb_lis}) |
Step 4: Then we will move to search.html page and write the following code to search for data in firebase. Comments are written inside to understand it better.
HTML
{% load static %}<html lang="en"> <head> <title>Search Page</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <link rel='stylesheet' href="{% static '/css/Search.css' %}"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{%static '/css/footer.css' %}"> </head> <body> <div class="container"> <div class="inner"> <form method="post" action="/searchusers/"> {% csrf_token %} <!--Type the name you want to search and click on submit--> <input type="text" placeholder="Enter Title..." aria-label="Search.." name="search" id="search"> <select name="category" id="category" name=""> <option value="">Select Category</option> <!--select type to user--> <option value="Users">Users</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Find"> </form> </div> </div> </body></html> |
Step 5: Then we will move to the searchusers.html page and it will show the retrieved data on the Webpage as shown in the output.
HTML
{% load static %}<html lang="en"> <head> <title>User's List</title> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <link rel='stylesheet' href="{% static '/css/Search.css' %}"> </head> <body> <div class="tm-container"> <div class="tm-main-content"> <section class="tm-section tm-section-small text-center"> <!--Showing all the details we retrieved Here--> {% for name,course,branch,image in comb_lis %} <h1>Here are the results:</h1> <div class="image"> <img src="{{image}}" alt="Profile"> <h3 class="tm-section-header3">Name: {{name}}</h3> <h3 class="tm-section-header2">Course: {{ course }}, {{ branch }} </h3> </div> {% endfor %} </section> </div> <br> </div> </body></html> |
Output:
