How to retrieve the user email using the user id (client id)?
sudikrt, create a table with names and emails and add data to it after user has registered. then you will be able to search for records by email or id.
The crux: var exists = (snapshot.val() !== null);
if you want to listen on a node. You can change the implementation to the snippet below.
  const checkIfUserExists = (userId) => {
    const usersRef = new Firebase(USERS_LOCATION);
    usersRef.child(userId).on('value', (snap) => {
    const exists = (snap.val() !== null);
    userExistsCallback(userId, exists);
   });
 }
didn't know about the once() method. thanks 👍
