Demos

Collaboration ( Capx )

• drag from blue/green/red box to create a ball.
• drag a ball to move it.
• a ball would be removed if put it back to blue/green/red box, or click gray box to remove all balls.
• status(position) of all balls would be stored on cloud (firebase server)

King of clicking ( Capx )

• use facebook account to login
• each clicking would get 1 point
• the name and score of top 3 players would be shown (it is a real-time leaderboard)

Big map ( Capx )

• Enter display name at top text box, then click a character at bottom 5 characters to enter map.
• press arrow-key to move left/right/top/down, or dragging left/right/top/down to move.
• Online players will be shown at bottom with name and current position.
• You might try open more than one page to test it.

Message board

• Edit fields name, title, content then press "Post" button to post a message on wall.
• new arrived message would spark at bottom.
• Press "Refresh" to refresh current page of messages. Press "<" or ">" to turn to previous or next page.

Firebase is good at receiving message immediately, but it could not read by page, so it used parse service to read history messages.

Another version of firebase plugin.

Hi rexrainbow, Thanks for the plugin...Could you let me know how is this plugin different from the other one that is already here..

There are some differents- I divide one large plugin into 3 parts.

a. rex_firebase_authentication supports not only facebook email, but also google and twitter, Anonymous.

b. more query features in rex_firebase_query. Some features are newest which released at Nov 4, 2014 (Version 2.0.0 of firebase api).

c. add "transaction" feature in rex_firebase. Merge types of "set value"/"receive value" (string, number) into an action. Add some extra expressions.

In my experience, programming with firebase is not simple/easy for normal C2 users which do not have programming background. So I would like to encapsulate some logic with firebase into new plugins.

This sounds great !!

You might propose some use cases to me. I would try to implement them into plugins.

I will send you a PM. Thank you.

I've tested them. The plugins are compatible with Cordova(Phonegap) for mobile apps.

Notice that if anyone use the Firebase Authentication Plugin to build Cordova project,

you have to add "In App Browser Plugin" to make it work. You may find "In App Browser Plugin" from Cranberrygames's work.

Awesome stuff.

I wrote the original Firebase plugin. I am pleased Rex is developing something with all the newer firebase technology, as I don't have time to upgrade the one I stated.

It is still not enough for querying in firebase api, even if they had improved the querying feature in 2014.

Update

Add rex_firebase_savedata, rex_firebase_leaderboard plugin. These could be used standalone.

Update

Add rex_parse_leaderboard plugin, leaderboard feature in parse server.

rex_firebase_leaderboard is good at showing top N ranks in real-time.

rex_parse_leaderboard is good at showing ranks in pages.

Here is another demo.

• Lolgin with facebook account.
• User could try to create a new room by enter room name at right-down text box and click "create" button.
• Or user could join existed room by click the room name at right list.
• After join a room, drag a ball from right red/green/blue box. Click gray box to remove all balls. All users in the same room could see and drag these balls in the room.
• The room will be kept after all users had left, included balls.
• Input message at down text box and press enter to broadcast message.

The document of "rex_firebase_room" plugin had not be wrote yet.

Another demo

• Enter display name at top text box, then click a character at bottom 5 characters to enter map.
• press arrow-key to move left/right/top/down, or dragging left/right/top/down to move.
• Online players will be shown at bottom with name and current position.

Please move this thread to "Completed Addons" section. You might rename it to rex_firebase" in the plugins list, because that there already had another firebase plugin.

I still trt to add new related plugins in to this thread.

Moved and added.
