Firebase : How to parse data (Observable) returned by valueChanges()

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’m trying to manipulate my data (get the GPS position of users) from Firebase within the TS controller.
I can do that in the template but how to get the “GPS” fields within the TS ?

here is my Observable list from firebase (map.ts) :

this.items = database.list('user').valueChanges();

Here is how to display them within the template (map.html) :

<li *ngFor="let item of items | async">
      {{ item.GPS }}
</li>

I guess I am supposed to subscribe and then do a FOREACH loop like this :slight_smile:

database.list('user').valueChanges().subscribe(res => {
      console.log("res" + res);
      res.forEach(item => {
        console.log("item" + item.GPS);
      });
    });

But off course the “GPS” field is unknown

Here is my JSON DATA from firebase

  "user" : {
    "-KxFJWl6Hcq8sguzqHUO" : {
      "GPS" : "-17.6118169,-149.6097454",
      "mail" : "xxx@xxxx.com",
      "timestamp" : 1508907172088
    },
    "-KxFKYmHnd3dzlaNgrR3" : {
      "GPS" : "-17.6118169,-149.6097454",
      "mail" : "xxx@gmail.com",
      "timestamp" : 1508907133193
    },
    "-KxGPgl0HSD4k60GxDba" : {
      "GPS" : "-17.551625100000003,-149.5584758",
      "mail" : "xx@xxx.com",
      "timestamp" : 1508899499230
    }
  }

const FIREBASE_CURRENT_TODOS = '/todo/currentTodos';

interface IFirebaseTodo {
    description?: string;
    index: number;
    name: string;
    isComplete: boolean;
}

        af.list<IFirebaseTodo>(FIREBASE_CURRENT_TODOS)
            .valueChanges()
            .subscribe((res: IFirebaseTodo[]) => {
                console.log(res);
                res.forEach((item) => {
                    console.log(item.name);
                });
            });
