aor-firestore-client

An admin-on-rest client for Firebase Firestore.

Installation

npm install aor-firestore-client --save
 
yarn add aor-firestore-client

Difference between aor-firebase-client

The only difference between these two is that aor-firebase-client relies on Firebase Realtime Database

This library uses Firebase Cloud Firestore The setup is almost identical.

Usage

As a parameter of the <Admin> component

// in src/App.js
import React from 'react';
import { Admin, Resource } from 'admin-on-rest';
import { RestClient } from 'aor-firestore-client';
 
const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: '<your-api-key>',
  authDomain: '<your-auth-domain>',
  databaseURL: '<your-database-url>',
  storageBucket: '<your-storage-bucket>',
  messagingSenderId: '<your-sender-id>'
};
 
const clientOptions = {
  timestampFieldNames: {
    createdAt: 'createdAt',
    updatedAt: 'updatedAt'
  },
  trackedResources: [{
    name: 'posts', // The name reference to be used in all other places in AOR
    path: 'blog', // The path in the database. If missing will use the name
    public: true,
    uploadFields: [] // The string name of the field
  }, 'contacts'] // A single string assumes path and name as equal, non private and without upload fields
}
 
const App = () => (
  <Admin restClient={RestClient(trackedResources, clientOptions)} >
    <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    <Resource name="contacts" list={ContactList} />
  </Admin>
);
 
export default App;

Auth Client

The package lets you manage the login/logout process implementing an optional authClient prop of the Admin component (see documentation).
It stores a firebaseToken in localStorage. The configuration options available are:

• userProfilePath: The database path to user profiles. Defaults to /users/. Mind the slashes.

• userAdminProp: The database key to point if a user has admin powers. Defaults to isAdmin

The final path is: {userProfilePath}/{uid}/{userAdminProp}

• localStorageTokenName: Local storage identifier to hold the firebase client token, defaults to aorFirebaseClientToken

• handleAuthStateChange: A way to override the auth process

// in src/App.js
...
import {RestClient, AuthClient} from 'aor-firebase-client';
 
const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: '<your-api-key>',
    authDomain: '<your-auth-domain>',
    databaseURL: '<your-database-url>',
    storageBucket: '<your-storage-bucket>',
    messagingSenderId: '<your-sender-id>'
};
 
const authConfig = {
    userProfilePath: 'profiles',
    userAdminProp: 'superuser'
}
 
const App = () => (
    <Admin restClient={RestClient(firebaseConfig)} authClient={AuthClient(authConfig)}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);
 
export default App;

Note: AuthClient does require using the RestClient in order to initialize firebase. Alternatively, you can opt to not use the RestClient and initialize firebase yourself like this:

import {RestClient, AuthClient} from 'aor-firebase-client';
import firebase from 'firebase';
 
const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: '<your-api-key>',
    authDomain: '<your-auth-domain>',
    databaseURL: '<your-database-url>',
    storageBucket: '<your-storage-bucket>',
    messagingSenderId: '<your-sender-id>'
};
 
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
 
const App = () => (
    <Admin authClient={AuthClient()}>
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} />
    </Admin>
);
 
export default App;
