Overview of Firebase for Dart 🔥🎯

A list of all libraries that (try to) cover Firebase for Dart

Why?

It's complicated...

Dart has no official implementation of a firebase sdk purely written in native Dart code.

There are kind of official wrapper libs (flutterfire, firebase-dart) around the official JS, iOS and Android SDKs, which are inside the FirebaseExtended organisation on Github ("Projects that are not officially staffed by Googlers ...").

Beside these packages there are also ...

• unofficial attempts to create unified wrappers for all target platforms
• unofficial and incomplete attempts to create a Dart native package for Firebase

In general: If you want to use Firebase on all the different Dart target platforms (Flutter, Dart for Web or VM) you have different packages, varying syntax or even lacking support of many Firebase features.

This document is supposed to give an overview of Dart packages for Firebase.

• It is not here to criticize but to help confused developers.
• If you'd like to contribute or help me improve this list, please open pull requests or issues.
• If you want to discuss, please open issues.

Types of packages

• interop library: library to access firebase products for specific platforms, based on an interface to another programming language
• native library: direct library to access firebase products, written in Dart, therefore for all platforms, Dart can run on
• wrapper: approach to create a more abstract API to access firebase products for multiple platforms by bundling other libraries
• ORM (object relational mapping): libraries that help you serialize and deserialize the data between the database and your data models
• helper: tools that help you work with firebase in any way
