Firebase Go Client

Firego

---

A Firebase client written in Go

Under Development

The API may or may not change radically within the next upcoming weeks.

Installation

go get -u github.com/CloudCom/firego

Usage

Import firego

import "github.com/CloudCom/firego"

Create a new firego reference

f := firego.New("https://my-firebase-app.firebaseIO.com")

Request Timeouts

By default, the Firebase reference will timeout after 30 seconds of trying to reach a Firebase server. You can configure this value by setting the global timeout duration

firego.TimeoutDuration = time.Minute

Auth Tokens

f.Auth("some-token-that-was-created-for-me")
f.Unauth()

Visit Fireauth if you'd like to generate your own auth tokens

Get Value

var v map[string]interface{}
if err := f.Value(&v); err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", v)

Set Value

v := map[string]string{"foo":"bar"}
if err := f.Set(v); err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

Push Value

v := "bar"
pushedFirego, err := f.Push(v)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

var bar string
if err := pushedFirego.Value(&bar); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// prints "https://my-firebase-app.firebaseIO.com/-JgvLHXszP4xS0AUN-nI: bar"
fmt.Printf("%s: %s\n", pushedFirego, bar)

Update Child

v := map[string]string{"foo":"bar"}
if err := f.Update(v); err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}

Remove Value

if err := f.Remove(); err != nil {
  log.Fatal(err)
}
