ActiveRecord for Firebase.
npm install activefireI've rewritten this project in TypeScript and it already worked with Firebase 3. Now I have 1 production server running with it but I need time to collect some more thoughts on this. So...
> Don't Use This Library.
In the meantime, if you want to collaborate on this idea please let me know. I'm always available at deoxen0n2@gmail.com. Thanks you.
bash
$ npm install activefire
`And in your js file:
js
var ActiveFire = require('activefire');// Setup config once.
ActiveFire.configure({
url: 'https://[app].firebaseio.com/'
});
// Authenticate.
ActiveFire.authWithPassword({
email: 'deoxen0n2@gmail.com',
password: 'secretpassword'
}, _doTheRest);
// Do the rest.
function _doTheRest(err, userData) {
if (err) throw err;
// Declare your models.
// For simplicity, assume book has only one author.
var Book = new ActiveFire.Base('/books');
var Author = new ActiveFire.Base('/authors', {
hasMany: { books: { model: Book, key: 'author_id' } }
});
// Create them.
Author.create({
fullName: 'Sean Covey'
})
.then(function(sean) {
return sean.books.create({
title: 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens',
isbn: '978-1476764665'
});
}, function(err) {
console.log('Ooch.. something went wrong:', err);
})
.then(function() {
console.log('Your book is cool!');
}, function(err) {
console.log('Ooch.. your book is still cool, but something went wrong:', err);
});
}
`Development
Right now I'm working on improving and finishing
of this library. The rewrite version leverages the multi-path update feature so it can guarantee atomic operations for some tasks and it does not use external Promise library anymore (since Firebase already support this interface on v2.4+ SDK). It also benefits from strong type system from TypeScript. The goals of this project will be:1. Thin wrapper around Firebase JavaScript SDK
2. Provide common and useful patterns
Tests
`bash
$ npm test
