Firebase Example

Talks You Should Watch is an example web app that was developed for this Firebase tutorial.

The original version is a pretty basic application, so here's a more fleshed out example of what you can do with this technology, including:

Hosting app on Firebase
Authenticating users anonymously
Authenticating users with Twitter OAuth
Reading multiple database entries from Firebase at a time

Note: if you want to fork this repo and try it out yourself, you'll need to:

Create your own Firebase application
Replace myFirebaseApp (in public/scripts/database.js) with your Firebase app name
Replace the value of Firebase (in firebase.json) with your Firebase app name
Set up hosting for your Firebase app
Set up a Twitter application and allow your Firebase app to authenticate users with Twitter
Allow your Firebase app to authenticate users anonymously

This application also makes us of the require.js library. This library allows us to specify that certain scripts should only be run after all their dependencies have been loaded.

The overall structure of this app:

firebase.json
- Sets up configuration for hosting this website with Firebase
public/
- Directory which is publicly available and hosted on Firebase
- public/index.html
  - This file is automatically loaded when you navigate to your hosted website.
- public/lib
  - This directory contains scripts for external libraries used by this web application.
- public/scripts
  - This directory contains scripts that will run our web application.
  - public/scripts/application.js
    - This script contains the primary application logic, and is loaded by public/index.html. It depends on public/scripts/database.js
  - public/scripts/database.js
    - This scripts contains the database specific logic, and is loaded by require.js before public/scripts/application.js is run
