Firebase javascript in NodeJS

Question

I need to deploy the node.js server for some complex business logic.

Is there a firebase library / module that allows me to use promises rather than callbacks for query and update / set methods?

I found firebase-client, but it is based on REST. Do I prefer one based on javascript API if it is there?

Thanks.

Answer 1

You are 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!'); })
