- First Go to Firebase Console and Create New Project.
- After Creating the project, in project click on settings icon besides project Name in left sidebar and select Permissions.
- On Permissions Page Click on Service accounts in left sidebar then click on Generate new private key.
- In the popup window click on the button "Generate Key" and download your credentials inside your project directory.
- Create a file named index.js and copy following code in your project directory.
//Loading Firebase Package
var firebase = require("firebase");
/**
* Update your Firebase Project
* Credentials and Firebase Database
* URL
*/
firebase.initializeApp({
serviceAccount: "<path to Firebase Credentials Json File>",
databaseURL: "<Firebase Database URL>"
}); //by adding your credentials, you get authorized to read and write from the database
/**
* Loading Firebase Database and refering
* to user_data Object from the Database
*/
var db = firebase.database();
var ref = db.ref("/user_data"); //Set the current directory you are working in
/**
* Setting Data Object Value
*/
ref.set([
{
id:20,
name:"Jane Doe",
email:"[email protected]",
website:"https://jane.foo.bar"
},
{
id:21,
name:"John doe",
email:"[email protected]",
website:"https://foo.bar"
}
]);
/**
* Pushing New Value
* in the Database Object
*/
ref.push({
id:22,
name:"Jane Doe",
email:"[email protected]",
website:"https://jane.foo.bar"
});
/**
* Reading Value from
* Firebase Data Object
*/
ref.once("value", function(snapshot) {
var data = snapshot.val(); //Data is in JSON format.
console.log(data);
});
- Just change with the JSON Credentials file URL(For starters just copy the credentials file in Same folder and in index.js file just add the credentials File Name).
- Next step is to change the in index.js with actual Firebase Database URL, you will be able to find this URL in Firebase Console in Database Tab, The URL will be like https://.firebaseio.com/.
- Install firebase npm package.
$ npm install firebase
- After Executing above command NPM will install necessary packages required for Firebase. Finally to run and test project execute
$ node index.js
10 The project loads the Data from cloud based Firebase Database. The project also demonstrates how to Write and Read data from a Firebase Data Object.
In order to view your data get updated in realtime, go to your console click on the project you made, and on the left, hit Database. There, you can see your data get updated in real-time, along with their values.
