ember-cli-deploy-firebase-database

> An Ember CLI Deploy plugin to upload index.html to a firebase database

This plugin uploads a file, presumably index.html, to a specified Firebase Realtime Database.

More often than not this plugin will be used in conjunction with where the ember application assets will be served from Firebase Hosting and the index.html file will be served from a Cloud Function which pulls from a Firebase Database (more explanation to follow!). However, it can be used to upload any file to a firebase db.

What is an Ember CLI Deploy plugin?

A plugin is an addon that can be executed as a part of the Ember CLI Deploy pipeline. A plugin will implement one or more of the Ember CLI Deploy's pipeline hooks.

For more information on what plugins are and how they work, please refer to the [Plugin Documentation][1].

Quick Start

To get up and running quickly, do the following:

`bash
$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-build
`

- Install this plugin

`bash
$ ember install ember-cli-deploy-firebase-database
`

- Download a firebase service account key as per into your project directory; do NOT store this in git!

- Place the following configuration into config/deploy.js

`javascript
ENV["firebase-database"] = {
serviceAccountKeyPath: "./",
firebaseAppName: '',
}
`

- Run the pipeline

`bash
$ ember deploy production

"index_html": {".write": "auth.uid === 'index_writer'"}

Prerequisites

The following properties are expected to be present on the deployment context object:

- distDir (provided by [ember-cli-deploy-build][2])

Tests

* yarn test

Why ember test doesn't work

Since this is a node-only Ember CLI addon, we use mocha for testing and this package does not include many files and devDependencies which are part of Ember CLI's typical ember test` processes.
