It really depends on the structure. The standard way is using numChildren() in class DataSnapShot. Read more: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.database.DataSnapshot.html#numChildren Good luck on developing that nice app

Arb Rahim Badsa I tried this one msgRef.once("value").then((snap)=>{ snap.forEach((user)=>{ console.log((user)); //i cant find what is inside }) console.log(snap.numChildren()); }); You can get the names of all the user if can provide the user properties
