[plugin] firebase

Update

Move all firebase.js file into a new plugin - rex_firebase_api. i.e. add rex_firebase_api plugin into project for all my firebase application plugins. It is similar with rex_parse_initialize plugin for all my parse application plugins.

Update

rex_firebase plugin: add property "Connection detection" and "Condition:On connected" , "Condition:On disconnected" to detect client's connection status

Add plugin rex_wilddog_api for Wild dog service, which is a firebase-like service for China users.

The api of wild dog is compatible with firebase, so that my plugins of firebase could be reused in wild dog service.

Hi Rex, I'm having trouble with the firebase query function.

Here is the setup [plugin used]:

(action) [Query] 0. Create a new query for ref X

(action) [Query] 1. Order current query by Key

(action) [Firebase] Add received callback: "Tag" once for query [Query] (child added)

Here is the response [plugin used]:

(condition) [Firebase] On received "Tag"

(condition) [Query] LastData is null

I get the following popup error on during app startup before the app finishes loading:

"Assertion failure: Condition method appears to be missing, check ACE table names match script names."

Same error caused by

(condition) [Query] On received "Tag"

I have the FirebaseAPI plugin installed.

Also, I can't seem to find a way of receiving a reply from firebase if a text entry is missing. When there is data, [Firebase] On received "Tag" triggers a response, but not when it doesn't find a match. Any ideas?

Sorry about that, please try to use the same condition ( LastData is null ) from rex_firebase plugin, I forgot to remove the conditions in rex_firebase_query plugin.

Edit:

I had removed these conditions in rex_firebase_query plugin, please also removes them from your project before updates this plugin.

Could you explain more detail about the last question? An example is better, thanks.

Current plugins of firebase are based on version 2.x api. It does not support the latest 3.x api and the new project base. I will try to upgrade my firebase plugins for version 3.x as soon as possible.

Well at least they didn't end up like Parse.

Awesome work Rex. Did you have any plans to add GeoFire (firebase location) plugin as well?

Awesome! Thanks rexrainbow! I'm super excited about all the changes in 3.x. A Firebase engineer gave me some hints at GDC, glad to see they delivered. I'm eager to jump in now.

Let me know if you need any assistance or help testing.

I will try it, after integrating 3.x into plugins. There are some new features in 3.x, like notification.

Update

Add rex_firebase_apiv3 plugin for firebase V3 api.

Update core plugins rex_firebase, rex_firebase_authentication to v3.

(Sample capx)

Edit: it works in firefox and chrome, both.

I will try to integrate my firebase plugins to support v2.x and v3.x at the same time. Now only rex_firebase, rex_firebase_authentication has updated. User should hold older firebase project until all my firebase plugins has ben updated.

Nice work! Where i can get API key of my app?

You might start from here. Create a new firebase v3 project here, then you could get your api key in your project.

This is more of a general question. But I've been playing around with the plugin, and the LastData property seems a little limited when dealing with many real time references. If i have two listeners at different places looking for different data, and the second one fires before the callack from the first executes, it then uses the second reference's data.

I don't know if it's possible, but unless I'm not implementing it properly, it seems like you would need to assign a unique name to each LastData property, so that the firebase snapshot values won't be overwritten by other listeners. Is this correct, or am I not using the plugin correctly?

Thanks

You might try to put another (or more) rex_firebase object into project, or create a new rex_firebase instance for a specific reading procedure. Moreover, each individual rex_firebase could have private instance variable, you could pass the value by them to read handler.
