    You cannot store new and previous data in a single child in firebase, as it overwrites the previous data.
    Still you can create a child under its parent and update them.

    In case you mean you don’t want to overwrite data:

    databaseRef.child("categories").push().setValue(category)

    using push() will always generate new key and then adds the your data to "categories"

    while:

    databaseRef.child("categories").setValue(category)

    will always overwrite it ..

    Hope this helps .. more about how to write to realtime-database here
