2. The Realtime Backend for your App
3. Creating an app shouldn’t require managing complex infrastructure.
4. THE FULL STACK
5. The full stack is never really that simple
6. … and neither is the client side
7. The user doesn’t care about your backend
8. THE USER EXPECTS Speed Offline Multi-platform Simple Authentication
9. FIREBASE The Realtime Backend for your App
10. THE FIREBASE BACKEND
12. CLOUD DATABASE NoSQL data-store Returns JSON from a RESTful API
14. REALTIME DATA Whenever data is updated in Firebase, it sends the update down to every listening client
16. STORE DATA Firebase ref = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com/message"); ref.setValue("All the things");
17. SYNC DATA Firebase ref = new Firebase("https://<your-firebase-app>.firebaseio.com/message"); ref.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() { @Override public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot snapshot) { System.out.println(snapshot.getValue()); } @Override public void onCancelled(FirebaseError error) { } });
18. OFFLINE
19. INTERMITTENT OFFLINE What happens when you go through a tunnel? Firebase clients store a local cache of your data. When the user goes offline, the app still works as expected with the local cache.
20. ENTENDED OFFLINE What happens when you go on a flight? On mobile, Firebase persists data to a local store. The app will continue to work even across app restarts.
21. ONE LINE OF CODE Firebase.getDefaultConfig().setPersistenceEnabled(true);
23. Firebase supports several forms of authentication Email & Password Google Twitter Facebook Github Anonymous … and even custom backends
24. AUTHENTICATION ref.authWithOAuthToken("google", "<OAuth Token>", new Firebase. AuthResultHandler() { @Override public void onAuthenticated(AuthData authData) { // the Google user is now authenticated with your Firebase app } @Override public void onAuthenticationError(FirebaseError firebaseError) { // there was an error } });
26. SECURITY By default everyone can read and write { "rules": { ".read": true, ".write": true, } }
27. SECURITY Everyone can read, but no one can write { "rules": { ".read": true, ".write": false, } }
28. SECURITY Secure specific parts of your firebase { "rules": { ".read": true, “message”: { ".write": false, } } }
