Options

import {
  FirebaseAuthProvider,
  FirebaseDataProvider,
  FirebaseRealTimeSaga
} from 'react-admin-firebase';

const config = {
  apiKey: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  authDomain: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  databaseURL: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  projectId: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  storageBucket: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  messagingSenderId: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
};

// All options are optional
const options = {
  // Use a different root document to set your resource collections, by default it uses the root collections of firestore
  rootRef: 'root-collection/some-doc' | () => 'root-collection/some-doc',
  // Your own, previously initialized firebase app instance
  app: firebaseAppInstance,
  // Enable logging of react-admin-firebase
  logging: true,
  // Resources to watch for realtime updates, will implicitly watch all resources by default, if not set.
  watch: ['posts'],
  // Resources you explicitly dont want realtime updates for
  dontwatch: ['comments'],
  // Authentication persistence, defaults to 'session', options are 'session' | 'local' | 'none'
  persistence: 'session',
  // Disable the metadata; 'createdate', 'lastupdate', 'createdby', 'updatedby'
  disableMeta: false,
  // Have custom metadata field names instead of: 'createdate', 'lastupdate', 'createdby', 'updatedby'
  renameMetaFields: {
    created_at: 'my_created_at', // default: 'createdate'
    created_by: 'my_created_by', // default: 'createdby'
    updated_at: 'my_updated_at', // default: 'lastupdate'
    updated_by: 'my_updated_by', // default: 'updatedby'
  },
  // Prevents document from getting the ID field added as a property
  dontAddIdFieldToDoc: false,
  // Adds 'deleted' meta field for non-destructive deleting functionality
  // NOTE: Hides 'deleted' records from list views unless overridden by filtering for {deleted: true} 
  softDelete: false,
  // Changes meta fields like 'createdby' and 'updatedby' to store user IDs instead of email addresses
  associateUsersById: false,
  // Casing for meta fields like 'createdby' and 'updatedby', defaults to 'lower', options are 'lower' | 'camel' | 'snake' | 'pascal' | 'kebab'
  metaFieldCasing: 'lower',
  // Instead of saving full download url for file, save just relative path and then get download url
  // when getting docs - main use case is handling multiple firebase projects (environments)
  // and moving/copying documents/storage files between them - with relativeFilePaths, download url
  // always point to project own storage
  relativeFilePaths: false, 
  // Add file name to storage path, when set to true the file name is included in the path
  useFileNamesInStorage: false,
  // Use firebase sdk queries for pagination, filtering and sorting
  lazyLoading: {
    enabled: false
  },
  // Logging of all reads performed by app (additional feature, for lazy-loading testing)
  firestoreCostsLogger: {
    enabled: false,
    localStoragePrefix // optional
  },
  // Function to transform documentData before they are written to Firestore
  transformToDb: (resourceName, documentData, documentId) => documentDataTransformed
}

const dataProvider = FirebaseDataProvider(config, options);
const authProvider = FirebaseAuthProvider(config, options);
const firebaseRealtime = FirebaseRealTimeSaga(dataProvider, options);

Data Provider

import * as React from 'react';
import { Admin, Resource } from 'react-admin';

import { PostList, PostShow, PostCreate, PostEdit } from "./posts";
import {
  FirebaseAuthProvider,
  FirebaseDataProvider,
  FirebaseRealTimeSaga
} from 'react-admin-firebase';

const config = {
  apiKey: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  authDomain: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  databaseURL: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  projectId: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  storageBucket: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  messagingSenderId: "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
};

const options = {};

const dataProvider = FirebaseDataProvider(config, options);
...
      <Admin 
        dataProvider={dataProvider} 
      >
        <Resource name="posts" list={PostList} show={PostShow} create={PostCreate} edit={PostEdit}/>
      </Admin>
...

Auth Provider

Using the FirebaseAuthProvider you can allow authentication in the application.

const dataProvider = FirebaseDataProvider(config);
const authProvider = FirebaseAuthProvider(config);
...
      <Admin 
        dataProvider={dataProvider}
        authProvider={authProvider}
      >
...

Also checkout how to login with: Google, Facebook, Github etc... (Example Here)

And you might want a "Forgot password" button... (Example Here)

Note

To get the currently logged in user run const user = await authProvider.checkAuth(), this will return the firebase user object, or null if there is no currently logged in user.

Realtime Updates!

NOTE: Realtime updates were removed in react-admin v3.x (see https://github.com/marmelab/react-admin/pull/3908). As such, react-admin-firebase v3.x also does not support Realtime Updates. However, much of the original code used for this functionality in react-admin v2.x remains - including the documentation below. For updates on the implementation of realtime please follow these issues:

• https://github.com/benwinding/react-admin-firebase/issues/49
• https://github.com/benwinding/react-admin-firebase/issues/57

Get realtime updates from the firebase server instantly on your tables, with minimal overheads, using rxjs observables!

...
import {
  FirebaseRealTimeSaga,
  FirebaseDataProvider
} from 'react-admin-firebase';
...
const dataProvider = FirebaseDataProvider(config);
const firebaseRealtime = FirebaseRealTimeSaga(dataProvider);
...
      <Admin 
        dataProvider={dataProvider} 
        customSagas={[firebaseRealtime]}
      >
...

Realtime Options

Trigger realtime on only some routes using the options object.

...
const dataProvider = FirebaseDataProvider(config);
const options = {
  watch: ['posts', 'comments'],
  dontwatch: ['users']
}
const firebaseRealtime = FirebaseRealTimeSaga(dataProvider, options);
...

Upload Progress

Monitor file upload data using custom React component which listen for following events (CustomEvent):

• FILE_UPLOAD_WILL_START
• FILE_UPLOAD_START
• FILE_UPLOAD_PROGRESS
• FILE_UPLOAD_PAUSED
• FILE_UPLOAD_CANCELD
• FILE_UPLOAD_COMPLETE
• FILE_SAVED

All events have data passed in details key:

• fileName: the file anme
• data: percentage for FILE_UPLOAD_PROGRESS

Events are sent to HTML DOM element with id "eventMonitor". See demo implementation for example at src-demo/src/App.js;
