Firebase connector

About Firebase

The Firebase Realtime Database is a cloud-hosted database. Data is stored as JSON and synchronized in realtime to every connected client.

Purpose of the scriptr.io connector for Firebase

The purpose of this connector is to simplify and streamline the way you access Firebase from scriptr.io, by providing you with a few native objects that you can directly integrate into your own scripts.

Components

firebase/firebaseclient: this is the main object to interact with.
firebase/httplient: a generic http client that knows how to handle requests to/responses from Firebase's APIs
firebase/config: the configuration file where you mainly specify your access Key

How to use

Deployment

Deploy the aforementioned scripts in your scriptr account, in a folder named "firebase",
Make sure to replace the value of the "projectName" variable in "firebase/config" with the value of your actual project name,
Create a test script in scriptr, or use the script provided in firebase/test,

Use the connector

Require the firebaseclient from a script, then create an instance of the Firebase class.

var firebaseModule = require('firebase/firebaseclient');
var firebase = new firebaseModule.Firebase();

Create some data

var data = {
  "alanisawesome": {
    "name": "Alan Turing",
    "birthday": "June 23, 1912"
  }
}
firebase.putData("users", data);

Get some data

firebase.getData("users");
