Javascript + Firebase blog addpost function firstId returns undefined
I am creating a blog with Js and Firebase. When I add the posts to the firebase database the first one's Id is undefined then in starts increasing from myid-0.
Here is my code:
<button onclick="writeUserData(document.getElementById('blog-title').value, document.getElementById('blog-content').value, uniqueId(uniqueId))">Add</button>
...........
function uniqueId(uniqueId) {
var counter = 0;
window.uniqueId = function(){
return ('myid-' + counter++);
}
}
function writeUserData(title, content, postID) {
firebase.database().ref('posts/' + postID).set({
title: title,
content: content
});
}
Why is it not starting to add the post from myid-0?

This is because your function uniqueId() is not correct. You can see it by having a button in your page with the following code:
<input
id="clickMe"
type="button"
value="clickme"
onclick="console.log(uniqueId());"
/>
So if you change your function to something like the following it will work:
var counter = 0;
function uniqueId() {
return 'myid-' + counter++;
}
function writeUserData(title, content, postID) {
firebase.database().ref('posts/' + postID).set({
title: title,
content: content
});
}
......
<button onclick="writeUserData(document.getElementById('blog-title').value, document.getElementById('blog-content').value, uniqueId())">Add</button>
Note however that you can let Firebase generating the UniqueIds, see https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.database.Reference#push
