Encode and decode firebase key string to escape and unescape unsafe characters (.$[]#/).
Checkout firebase-encode for validating string inputs.
npm install --save firebase-encode
import {
encode,
decode,
encodeComponents,
decodeComponents,
} from 'firebase-encode';
// safe encodes to 02%2F10%2F2013%2E%24%5B%5D%23%2F%25234_-!@%23%24%25^&*()0%5D;:'"`\=%2F?+|.
const encoded = encode('02/10/2013.$[]#/%234_-!@#$%^&*()0];:\'"`\\=/?+|');
// now is a safe child key.
firebaseRef.child(encoded).set(true);
// encodeComponents is same as encode except that it does not encode `/`.http://stackoverflow.com/a/19148116/692528
