Default Settings

When you create a new instance of DSFirebaseAdapter it will come with some defaults. Here they are:

basePath

Type: string

Base path. You should set this to your firebase url.

Default: ""

create(resourceConfig, attrs[, options])

Creates a new item in Firebase.

Returns a promise.

ArgumentTypeDescription
resourceConfigobjectThe Resource definition created by DS#defineResource.
attrsobjectThe attributes from which to create the item.
optionsobjectOptional configuration.
options.basePathstringOverride the basePath.
options.endpointstringOverride the endpoint.
Examples
var adapter = new DSFirebaseAdapter({
  basePath: 'https://my-firebase.firebaseio.com'
});
var store = new JSData.DS();
store.registerAdapter('firebase', adapter, { default: true });

var Document = store.defineResource('document');

// bypass the data store
adapter.create(Document, { author: 'John' }).then(function (document) {
  document; // { id: 5, author: 'John' }
  
  // The new document has NOT been injected into the data store because we bypassed the data store
  Document.get(document.id); // undefined
});

// Normally you would just go through the data store
Document.create({ author: 'John' }).then(function (document) {
  document; // { id: 5, author: 'John' }
  
  // the new document has been injected into the data store
  Document.get(document.id); // { id: 5, author: 'John' }
});

destroy(resourceConfig, id[, options])

Delete an item from Firebase.

Returns a promise.

ArgumentTypeDescription
resourceConfigobjectThe resource definition created by DS#defineResource.
idstring or numberThe primary key of the item to destroy.
optionsobjectOptional configuration.
options.basePathstringOverride the basePath.
options.endpointstringOverride the endpoint.
Examples
var adapter = new DSFirebaseAdapter({
  basePath: 'https://my-firebase.firebaseio.com'
});
var store = new JSData.DS();
store.registerAdapter('firebase', adapter, { default: true });

var Document = store.defineResource('document');

Document.inject({ id: 5, author: 'John' });

// bypass the data store
adapter.destroy(Document, 5).then(function () {
  // the document is still in the data store because we bypassed the data store
  Document.get(document.id); // { id: 5, author: 'John' }
});

// Normally you would just go through the data store
Document.destroy(5).then(function () {
  // the document has been ejected from the data store
  Document.get(document.id); // undefined
});

destroyAll(resourceConfig, params[, options])
