When passing "User reference" What is the database actually passing?

Actions & Logic
Resolved

Hello,

I am on a face finding mission. I am trying to use the algolia api to make a custom search and to use this to navigate to user profiles.
Typically when navigating to user profiles using firebase, i can pass the "reference"document.
What is this actually sending?

I have tried to pass $.path as the user reference on the search with no luck.

I am looking for a way to recreate the user reference the page is looking for to load the correct profile.

Or will I have to make a new page all together to make this work and pass a different parameter?

What have you tried so far?

I have tried passing $.path and $.uid and converting them both to a path with the JSON.

This doesn't work and no page is loading. it just infinately loads.
I have the same page working correctly, passing "reference" from somewhere else in the app and I am looking to recreate that flow but through the API to save myself building a new profile page.

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?
Yes
