EmberFire (Firebase + Ember Data)

EmberFire is the officially supported adapter for using Firebase with Ember Data.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you require embedded records, there is a bug in Ember Data that prevents them from working in 1.13.0 - 1.13.5, you will need to use 1.13.6 or higher

Compatibility

Please consult this table when selecting your version of EmberFire:

Ember Data	EmberFire
beta.12 - beta.18	1.4.x
beta.19	none
1.13+	1.5.x
canary	master

To install the master branch, use ember install firebase/emberfire#master

Installation

To install EmberFire as an addon with ember-cli, run the following command within your app's directory:

$ ember install emberfire

This will create a app/adapters/application.js. All you need to do is update your Firebase database url in config/environment.js:

// config/environment.js
  var ENV = {
    // ...
    firebase: 'https://YOUR-FIREBASE-NAME.firebaseio.com/',
    // ...

Your Firebase data will now be synced with the Ember Data store. For detailed EmberFire documentation, check out the quickstart or guide in the Firebase docs.

Using EmberFire without ember-cli

EmberFire also works without ember-cli. See the Firebase documentation for instructions on getting started.

Contributing to EmberFire

If you'd like to contribute to EmberFire, run the following commands to get your environment set up:

Setup

• git clone this repository
• npm install -g ember-cli bower gulp phantomjs

Using your local EmberFire workdir in another local project

From your emberfire workdir

  "devDependencies": {
    "emberfire": "0.0.0"

Running tests against a specific version of ember-data

• ember try <scenario> where <scenario> is one of the scenarios in config/ember-try.js

Example:

ember try ember-data-canary
