FirebaseDatabaseReference

Methods

• child(arguments) -> FirebaseDatabaseReference

  • identifier (String), path (String) OR url (String)  - observableEvents ([DATA_EVENT_TYPE_*])

• childByAutoId(arguments) -> FirebaseDatabaseReference

  • identifier (String), path (String) OR url (String)  - observableEvents ([DATA_EVENT_TYPE_*])

• root(arguments) -> FirebaseDatabaseReference  - observableEvents ([DATA_EVENT_TYPE_*])

• parent(arguments) -> FirebaseDatabaseReference

  • observableEvents ([DATA_EVENT_TYPE_*])

Constants

• DATA_EVENT_TYPE_VALUE
• DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_ADDED
• DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_CHANGED
• DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_MOVED
• DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_REMOVED

Events

Important note: Events are added and removed generically. They are only fired if you observe them via the observableEvents parameter.

• value (via DATA_EVENT_TYPE_VALUE)
• add (via DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_ADDED)
• change (via DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_CHANGED)
• move (via DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_MOVED)
• remove (via DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_REMOVED)

Example

const win = Ti.UI.createWindow({layout:'vertical', title:'Firebase Database'});
const btn1 = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'add random item'});
const btn2 = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'delete last item'});
win.add([btn1, btn2])

// Require the Firebase Database module
const FirebaseDatabase = require('firebase.database');
var randomReference = null;

btn1.addEventListener('click', function(){
	// Inserting values in firebase database
	randomReference = FirebaseDatabase.getReference().childByAutoId({
		path: 'user'
	});

	randomReference.setValue({
		username: 'username',
		email: 'test@example.com',
		password: 'ABCXYZ',
		timestamp: FirebaseDatabase.firebaseServerTimestamp
	}, function(e) {
		Ti.API.info('Value written, snapshot: ' + JSON.stringify(e, null, 4));
	});
})

btn2.addEventListener('click', function(){
	if (randomReference) {
		// remove last random item
		randomReference.removeValue();
		randomReference = null;
	}
});

// insert fixed item
var fdRef = FirebaseDatabase.getReference().child({
	path: 'user',
	identifier: 'user1'
});

fdRef.setValue({
	username: 'fixed username',
	email: 'fixed@example.com',
	password: 'ABCXYZ_fixed',
	timestamp: FirebaseDatabase.firebaseServerTimestamp
}, function(e) {
	Ti.API.info('Value written, snapshot: ' + JSON.stringify(e, null, 4));
});

// Fetching values from Firebase database

var userRef = FirebaseDatabase.getReference({
	path: 'user',
	observableEvents: [FirebaseDatabase.DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_ADDED, FirebaseDatabase.DATA_EVENT_TYPE_VALUE]
});

userRef.addEventListener('value', function(e) {
	Ti.API.info('DATA_EVENT_TYPE_VALUE, snapshot: ' + JSON.stringify(e));
});

userRef.addEventListener('add', function(e) {
	Ti.API.info('DATA_EVENT_TYPE_CHILD_ADDED, snapshot: ' + JSON.stringify(e));
});

userRef.addEventListener('remove', function(e) {
	Ti.API.info('removed value' + JSON.stringify(e));
});

win.open();
