Ruby wrapper for Firebase

firebase

Ruby wrapper for the Firebase backend API.

Changes are sent to all subscribed clients automatically, so you can update your clients in realtime from the backend.

See a video demo of what's possible.

Installation

gem install firebase

Usage

base_uri = 'https://<your-firebase>.firebaseio.com/'

firebase = Firebase::Client.new(base_uri)

response = firebase.push("todos", { :name => 'Pick the milk', :priority => 1 })
response.success? # => true
response.code # => 200
response.body # => { 'name' => "-INOQPH-aV_psbk3ZXEX" }
response.raw_body # => '{"name":"-INOQPH-aV_psbk3ZXEX"}'

If you have a read-only namespace, set your secret key as follows:

firebase = Firebase::Client.new(base_uri, secret_key)

response = firebase.push("todos", { :name => 'Pick the milk', :priority => 1 })

You can now pass custom query options to firebase:

response = firebase.push("todos", :limit => 1)

So far, supported methods are:

set(path, data, query_options)
get(path, query_options)
push(path, data, query_options)
delete(path, query_options)
update(path, data, query_options)

More information about Firebase and the Firebase API is available at the official website.
