Firebase angularfire in new firebase

Question

I have an angular app, which utilizes the angularFire library. It is stated in the firebase documentation that angularfire is supported https://firebase.google.com/support/guide

Answer 1

I'm using the latest version in one of my projects and it works fine so you should have something like this:

/// Main configuration of Firebase

    var config = {
        apiKey: "AIzaSyDcPq_z9vh4CidkzFDyerRK0ZS7gs2Sj14",
        authDomain: "citytimer-90920.firebaseapp.com",
        databaseURL: "https://citytimer-90920.firebaseio.com",
        storageBucket: "citytimer-90920.appspot.com",
        messagingSenderId: "497040832817"
    };
    firebase.initializeApp(config);

This part is pure Javascript so you don't need to include it in an Angular file.

Then those are the Angular files I'm using.

/// Database service

    function firebaseDataService() {
        var root = firebase.database().ref();

        var service = {
            root: root,
            requests: root.child('requests'),
            places: root.child('places')
        };

        return service;
    }

As you can see my service looks like yours.

/// Specific service to retrieve data

function cityTimerService($firebaseArray, firebaseDataService, $firebaseObject, $rootScope, $q, $http) {

        var service = {
            getRequestsByUser: getRequestsByUser,
        };

        return service;

        function getRequestsByUser(uid) {
            if (!requests) {
                requests = $firebaseArray(firebaseDataService.requests.child(uid).child('userRequests'));
            }
            return requests;
        }
}

Basically you don't longer need to provide the FIREBASE_URL because it's part of the configuration object. For the record you can get this configuration object from your Firebase console.

If you want to take a closer look on the code I have in my project you can do it here.

Yes, AngularFire is supported with google's new firebase 3 and above.

Along with that you can get the detailed documentation of it on : GitHub : https://github.com/firebase/angularfire
