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

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

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

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

So far, supported methods are:

Firebase.set(path, data)
Firebase.get(path)
Firebase.push(path, data)
Firebase.delete(path)

More features are coming soon.

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