A library for connecting redux-saga middleware to Firebase.
Getting started
Install
$ npm install firebase-saga --saveAPI
Following functions are supported:
| Function | Description | |------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------| | * create(path: *, fn: *): * | Saves new data to the database with set() | | * get(path: *, key: *): * | Fetches a record specified by the key from the database | | * getAll(path: *): * | Fetches entire snapshot of the database | | * push(path: *, fn: *, getkey: *): * | Generates a new child location using a unique key | | * remove(path: *, key: *): * | Deletes a given child location using a unique key | | * update(path: *, key: *, payload: *): * | Updates existing data in the database with update() | | * sync(path: *, mapEventToAction: {}, limit: number) | Gets fired every time a child added, remove, changed, or moved | |
Integrate Firebase with Sagas
The saga can be written like the following:
import { takeEvery } from 'redux-saga';
import { call, put, fork } from 'redux-saga/effects';
import * as actions from '../actions';
import { getAll, get, create } from 'firebase-saga';
function* fetchPosts() {
try {
const posts = yield call(getAll, 'posts');
yield put(actions.postsReceived(posts));
}
catch (error) {
yield put(actions.fetchPostsFailed(error));
}
}
function* fetchPost() {
try {
const posts = yield call(get, 'posts', '1');
yield put(actions.postReceived(posts));
}
catch (error) {
yield put(actions.fetchPostFailed(error));
}
}
function* createPost() {
try {
const formData = yield select(getFormData);
yield call(create, 'posts', () => ({
[`posts/${formData.id}`]: {
title: formData.title,
body: formData.body,
timestamp: formData.timestamp
}
})
);
yield put(actions.postCreated());
}
catch (error) {
yield put(actions.postCreationFailed(error));
}
}
function* watchFetchPosts() {
yield* takeEvery(actions.FETCH_POSTS, fetchPosts);
}
function* watchFetchPost() {
yield* takeEvery(actions.FETCH_POST, fetchPost);
}
export default function* root() {
yield [
fork(watchFetchPosts),
fork(watchFetchPost)
]
}Add Firebase to your web app
If you are using CDN only, add the URL to the index.html file, and specify the Firebase config:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>
<main id="root"></main>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.2.0/firebase.js">
</script>
<script>
// Initialize Firebase
var config = {
apiKey: '<YOUR API KEY>',
authDomain: '<YOUR APP NAME>.firebaseapp.com',
databaseURL: 'https://<YOUR APP NAME>.firebaseio.com',
storageBucket: '<YOUR APP NAME>.appspot.com'
};
firebase.initializeApp(config);
</script>
<script src="build.js"></script>
</body>
</html>If you are using Webpack or Browserify, you can install the firebase node module and then import it into the root components.
