Cloud Firestore

To fetch a document

using Firebase

Firebase.init("[FIREBASE_ADMIN_SDK].json") # just init() works too

# if you have multiple sdk key files, in your project make a firebase folder and put all key in that folder
Firebase.init()

Firebase.init() will look something like this:

julia> Firebase.init()
Choose your admin sdk key for use:
   firebase/2.json
 > firebase/fir-jl-457eb-firebase-adminsdk-40928-b1054bfad0.json
Project Admin SDK key is firebase/fir-jl-457eb-firebase-adminsdk-40928-b1054bfad0.json now!!
project_id: fir-jl-457eb
client_email: firebase-adminsdk-40928@fir-jl-457eb.iam.gserviceaccount.com

To get document or a collection:

res = get_request("/firebase_test/firebase_get") # document get
res = get_request("/firebase_test/firebase_get/firebase_get_collection") # collection fetch

To Update/Insert a document

init("[FIREBASE_ADMIN_SDK].json")
firestore_patch("/firebase_test/firebase_patch")

To get list of documents

init("[FIREBASE_ADMIN_SDK].json")
firestore_getdoclist("/firebase_test")

Realtime Database

Initializing the realdb for the base url, reduces the effort later

realdbinit("https://fir-jl-457eb-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app")
Base Url set:"https://fir-jl-457eb-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app"

GET - Reading Data

Data from your Realtime Database can be read by issuing an HTTP GET request to an endpoint. The following example demonstrates how you might retrieve a user's name that you had previously stored in Realtime Database.

julia> realdb_get("/firebase_test")
ulia> realdb_get("/firebase_test")
FINAL URL: "https://fir-jl-457eb-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app/firebase_test.json"
GET successful
Dict{String, Any} with 3 entries

POST - Pushing Data

To accomplish the equivalent of the JavaScript push() method (see Lists of Data), you can issue a POST request. A successful request is indicated by a 200 OK HTTP status code. The response contains the child name of the new data specified in the POST request.

julia> realdb_post("/firebase_test/firebase_new/","""{"hello":1}""")
FINAL URL: "https://fir-jl-457eb-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app/firebase_test/firebase_new.json"
POST successful
Dict{String, Any} with 1 entry:
  "name" => "-McElRx3ZBP-l7pCF0LN"

DELETE - Removing Data

You can delete data with a DELETE request A successful DELETE request is indicated by a 200 OK HTTP status code with a response containing JSON null.

julia> realdb_delete("/firebase_test/firebase_new")
https://fir-jl-457eb-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app/firebase_test/firebase_new.json
DELETE successful

PUT - Writing Data

You can write data with a PUT request. A successful request is indicated by a 200 OK HTTP status code. The response contains the data specified in the PUT request.

julia> realdb_put("/firebase_test/firebase_new/","""{"hello":1}""")
FINAL URL: "https://fir-jl-457eb-default-rtdb.asia-southeast1.firebasedatabase.app/firebase_test/firebase_new.json"
PUT successful
Dict{String, Any} with 1 entry:
  "name" => "-McElRx3ZBP-l7pCF0LN"
