API

objectToFirebase(object) -> object / null

object

Required
Type: object

Traverses an object, converting values with value-to-firebase. The object is copied into its smallest possible Firebase representation, meaning:

• Empty objects are removed
• null and values that convert to null are removed
• These steps are performed recursively

This means the following object become null:

{
  foo: {
    bar: {
      baz: {}
    }
  }
}

And this:

{
  foo: {
    bar: 'hi',
    baz: {
      qux: null
    }
  }
}

Becomes this:

{
  foo: {
    bar: 'hi'
  }
}
