Saving data under a specific user UID with Firebase

Question

I have a list of acceptable jobs that a user request (user 1) from their interface and those acceptable jobs are shown to user 2 who can accept those jobs or none at all. Now I have it saving under the specific city from the request, however, within the city node I want it to save under their user ID when they hit the accept button. Therefore, within their UID, the contents of the job will list all its details.

I can't seem to get it working fully.

My JS snippet:

var ref = firebase.database().ref('requests'); var ref2 = firebase.database().ref('Providers').child("City").child("Cincinnati"); ref.on('value', function(snapshot) { ref2.set(snapshot.val(), function(error) { }); });

So we're showing the provider the initial request with limited info (which has a ton of info). Once they click 'accept', they're able to view all the info but I'm currently just copying that info into another snapshot.

My question:

How can I save the info under their signed in, user ID (UID)?

The tree is set up like so:

Providers City Cincinnati UID Job Key ID Job Details

User #2 is able to accept multiple jobs which is why I'm wanting to save under their UID — mur7ay

To save data under userid, get the userid first:

var user = firebase.auth().currentUser; var uid=user.uid;

then save the data under the uid:

var ref2 = firebase.database().ref('Providers').child("City").child("Cincinnati"); ref2.child(uid).set({ jobDetails:details });
