• Observable based - Use the power of RxJS, Angular, and Firebase.
• Realtime bindings - Synchronize data in realtime.
• Authentication - Log users in with a variety of providers and monitor authentication state in realtime.
• Offline Data - Store data offline automatically with AngularFirestore.
• ngrx friendly - Integrate with ngrx using AngularFire's action based APIs.

Interacting with your database(s)

Firebase offers two cloud-based, client-accessible database solutions that support realtime data syncing. Learn about the differences between them in the Firebase Documentation.

Cloud Firestore

AngularFirestore allows you to work with Cloud Firestore, the new flagship database for mobile app development. It improves on the successes of Realtime Database with a new, more intuitive data model. Cloud Firestore also features richer, faster queries and scales better than Realtime Database.

• Documents
• Collections
• Querying Collections
• Offline data

Realtime Database

AngularFireDatabase allows you to work with the Realtime Database, Firebase's original database. It's an efficient, low-latency solution for mobile apps that require synced states across clients in realtime.

• Objects
• Lists
• Querying lists
