Firebase javascript promise in NodeJS

Question

I need to deploy a node.js server for some complicated business logic.

Is there any firebase library/module which allows me to use promises and not callbacks for the query and update/set methods?

I've found firebase-client, but it is based on REST. Am much prefer one based on the javascript API, if there is one out there?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You're looking for Fireproof.

Fireproof wraps Firebase objects with lightweight promise support.

var Fireproof = require('fireproof'),
  Firebase = require('firebase');

var fb = new Firebase('https://test.firebaseio.com/thing'),
  fp = new Fireproof(fb);

fireproof.auth('my_auth_token').then(function() {
  fp.child('path/to/data').then(...);
}, function(err) {
  console.error('Error authenticating to Firebase!');
})

now they have integrated promises in firebase it self. https://www.firebase.com/blog/2016-01-21-keeping-our-promises.html
