Usage

Querying

var firebase = new FirebaseClient("https://dinosaur-facts.firebaseio.com/");
var dinos = await firebase
  .Child("dinosaurs")
  .OrderByKey()
  .StartAt("pterodactyl")
  .LimitToFirst(2)
  .OnceAsync<Dinosaur>();
  
foreach (var dino in dinos)
{
  Console.WriteLine($"{dino.Key} is {dino.Object.Height}m high.");
}

Saving data

var firebase = new FirebaseClient("https://dinosaur-facts.firebaseio.com/");

// add new item to list of data and let the client generate new key for you (done offline)
var dino = await firebase
  .Child("dinosaurs")
  .PostAsync(new Dinosaur());
  
// note that there is another overload for the PostAsync method which delegates the new key generation to the firebase server
  
Console.WriteLine($"Key for the new dinosaur: {dino.Key}");  

// add new item directly to the specified location (this will overwrite whatever data already exists at that location)
var dino = await firebase
  .Child("dinosaurs")
  .Child("t-rex")
  .PutAsync(new Dinosaur());

Realtime streaming

var firebase = new FirebaseClient("https://dinosaur-facts.firebaseio.com/");
var observable = firebase
  .Child("dinosaurs")
  .AsObservable<Dinosaur>()
  .Subscribe(d => Console.WriteLine(d.Key));

AsObservable<T> methods returns an IObservable<T> which you can take advantage of using Reactive Extensions
