FirebaseSharp

A Firebase API for .NET.

Fun Facts

• This is a .NET Portable Library
• It has synch and async (TPL) versions of all methods
• It supports streaming gets and produces events for item added, updated, and removed
• Custom headers are not yet supported
• It throws on error HTTP status codes (happy path is always success)
• It probably sucks

Updates

• Auth is now supported. Pass in your token to the Firebase constructor
• Events during streaming reads are now generated for add, update and remove
• Improved support for event: patch

Usage

Create the Firebase object

Firebase fb = new Firebase(new Uri("https://dazzling-fire-1575.firebaseio.com/"));

Create the Firebase object with an auth token

string rootUri = "https://dazzling-fire-1575.firebaseio.com/";
string authToken = "YOUR FIREBASE AUTH TOKEN";
    
Firebase fb = new Firebase(rootUri, authToken);

Post Data

string path = "/path";
string data = "{{\"value\": \"Hello!\"}}";
    
string id = fb.Post(path, data);

Get Data

string jsonData = gb.Get(path);

Stream Data

fb.GetStreaming("path/to/monitor", 
    added: (s, args) => AddedItem(args),
    changed: (s, args) => UpdatedItem(args),
    removed: (s, args) => RemovedItem(args));
            
            
private void AddedItem(ValueAddedEventArgs args)
{
    // process addition
}

private void RemovedItem(ValueRemovedEventArgs args)
{
    // process removal
}

private void UpdatedItem(ValueChangedEventArgs args)
{
    // process update
}

Delete Data

fb.Delete(path);

The Rest

It's pretty self-explanatory.
