cordova-plugin-firebase

Cordova plugin for Google Firebase

This plugin is under development! The primary goal for this plugin is to implement Analytics and FCM for cross platform push notifications. Other parts of the SDK will follow later.

Angular implementation is maintained in the angular-cordova project (source)

Installation

See npm package for versions - https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-firebase

Install the plugin by adding it your project's config.xml:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebase" spec="0.1.9" />

or by running:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase --save

Download your Firebase configuration files, GoogleService-Info.plist for ios and google-services.json for android, and place them in the root folder of your cordova project:

- My Project/
    platforms/
    plugins/
    www/
    config.xml
    google-services.json       <--
    GoogleService-Info.plist   <--
    ...

See https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/7015592 for details how to download the files from firebase.

Whenever cordova prepare is triggered the configuration files are copied to the right place in the ios and android app.

Methods

getInstanceId

Get the device id (token):

window.FirebasePlugin.getInstanceId(function(token) {
    // save this server-side and use it to push notifications to this device
    console.log(token);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

grantPermission (iOS only)

Grant permission to recieve push notifications (will trigger prompt):

window.FirebasePlugin.grantPermission();

subscribe

Subscribe to a topic:

window.FirebasePlugin.subscribe("example");

unsubscribe

Unsubscribe from a topic:

window.FirebasePlugin.unsubscribe("example");

logEvent

Log an event using Analytics:

window.FirebasePlugin.logEvent("pageLoad", "Dashboard");

fetch (Android only)

Fetch Remote Config parameter values for your app:

window.FirebasePlugin.fetch();
// or, specify the cacheExpirationSeconds
window.FirebasePlugin.fetch(600);

activateFetched (Android only)

Activate the Remote Config fetched config:

window.FirebasePlugin.activateFetched(function(activated) {
    // activated will be true if there was a fetched config activated,
    // or false if no fetched config was found, or the fetched config was already activated.
    console.log(activated);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

getValue (Android only)

Retrieve a Remote Config value:

window.FirebasePlugin.getValue("key", function(value) {
    console.log(value);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});
// or, specify a namespace for the config value
window.FirebasePlugin.getValue("key", "namespace", function(value) {
    console.log(value);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

getByteArray (Android only)

Retrieve a Remote Config byte array:

window.FirebasePlugin.getByteArray("key", function(bytes) {
    // a Base64 encoded string that represents the value for "key"
    console.log(bytes.base64);
    // a numeric array containing the values of the byte array (i.e. [0xFF, 0x00])
    bytes.array;
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});
// or, specify a namespace for the byte array
window.FirebasePlugin.getByteArray("key", "namespace", function(bytes) {
    // a Base64 encoded string that represents the value for "key"
    console.log(bytes.base64);
    // a numeric array containing the values of the byte array (i.e. [0xFF, 0x00])
    bytes.array;
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

getInfo (Android only)

Get the current state of the FirebaseRemoteConfig singleton object:

window.FirebasePlugin.getInfo(function(info) {
    // the status of the developer mode setting (true/false)
    console.log(info.configSettings.developerModeEnabled);
    // the timestamp (milliseconds since epoch) of the last successful fetch
    console.log(info.fetchTimeMillis);
    // the status of the most recent fetch attempt (int)
    console.log(info.lastFetchStatus);
}, function(error) {
    console.error(error);
});

setConfigSettings (Android only)

Change the settings for the FirebaseRemoteConfig object's operations:

var settings = {
    developerModeEnabled: true
}
window.FirebasePlugin.setConfigSettings(settings);

setDefaults (Android only)

Set defaults in the Remote Config:

// define defaults
var defaults = {
    // map property name to value in Remote Config defaults
    mLong: 1000,
    mString: 'hello world',
    mDouble: 3.14,
    mBoolean: true,
    // map "mBase64" to a Remote Config byte array represented by a Base64 string
    // Note: the Base64 string is in an array in order to differentiate from a string config value
    mBase64: ["SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ="],
    // map "mBytes" to a Remote Config byte array represented by a numeric array
    mBytes: [0xFF, 0x00]
}
// set defaults
window.FirebasePlugin.setDefaults(defaults);
// or, specify a namespace
window.FirebasePlugin.setDefaults(defaults, "namespace");
