• Supports conditional requests/ETag's
• Follows Workers guidelines, such as not mutating global state
• Thorough documentation and easy to understand functions

Usage:

npm i --save @sharks-interactive/workers-firebase-rtdb-rest-client

Quick Examples:

Writing Data

import Database from '@sharks-interactive/workers-firebase-rtdb';

addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
  const db = new Database({
    databaseUrl: 'https://example-db-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/',
    authentication: 'bearer ya29.[YOUR-OAUTH-TOKEN-HERE]',
    tokenAuthentication: true,
  });
  event.respondWith(async () => {
    const success = await db.update(
        'user/settings',
        JSON.stringify({theme: 'dark'}),
        true,
        new Headers(), // Optional
    );

    if (success) return new Response('Ok', {status: 200, statusText: 'OK'});
    else return new Response('Something went wrong', {status: 500, statusText: 'Internal Server Error'});
  });
});

Reading Data

import Database from '@sharks-interactive/workers-firebase-rtdb';

addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
  const db = new Database({
    databaseUrl: 'https://example-db-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com/',
    authentication: 'bearer ya29.[YOUR-OAUTH-TOKEN-HERE]',
    tokenAuthentication: true,
  });
  event.respondWith(async () => {
    const response = await db.read(
        'user/settings',
        true,
        new Headers(), // Optional
    );

    if (response != '') return new Response(response, {status: 200, statusText: 'OK'});
    else return new Response('Something went wrong', {status: 500, statusText: 'Internal Server Error'});
  });
});

Features:

• .update() updates data with a PATCH request
• .push() pushes data with a POST request
• .write() writes data with a PUT request
• .read() reads data with a GET request
• .delete() deletes data with a DELETE request
• .appendGetEtagHeader() appends to a list of headers the header required to get the ETag of data in the database
• .appendEtagIfHeader() appends to a list of headers the header required to submit a conditional ETag request to the database
• tokenAuthentication supports OAUTH token authentication as well as Firebase ID authentication

Options (Required)

Option	Type	Description
databaseUrl	string	A string containing the base URL of your database. It SHOULD end in a / and it MUST start with https://. See: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/start
authentication	string	Your authentication information. This should be a OAUTH token if tokenAuthentication is true, and an ID token if if is false. See: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/auth
tokenAuthentication	boolean	Whether the authentication string is an OAUTH token or Firebase ID. See: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/auth

How it works:

This client library is a simplified layer between your code and the Firebase REST API. In the background it uses the Workers FETCH API to send HTTP requests to your Database.
