Population capability (similar to mongoose's populate or SQL's JOIN)
Support small data ( using value ) or large datasets ( using child_added, child_removed, child_changed )
Multiple queries types supported including orderByChild, orderByKey, orderByValue, orderByPriority, limitToLast, limitToFirst, startAt, endAt, equalTo
Tons of examples of integrations including redux-thunk and redux-observable
Server Side Rendering Support
react-native support using native modules or web sdk

Installation

npm install --save react-redux-firebase

This assumes you are using npm as your package manager.

If you're not, you can access the library on unpkg, download it, or point your package manager to it. Theres more on this in the Builds section below.

Use

Include reactReduxFirebase (store enhancer) and firebaseReducer (reducer) while creating your redux store:

import React from 'react'
import { render } from 'react-dom'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
import { createStore, combineReducers, compose } from 'redux'
import { reactReduxFirebase, firebaseReducer } from 'react-redux-firebase'
import firebase from 'firebase'
// import { reduxFirestore, firestoreReducer } from 'redux-firestore' // <- needed if using firestore
// import 'firebase/firestore' // <- needed if using firestore

const firebaseConfig = {}

// react-redux-firebase config
const rrfConfig = {
  userProfile: 'users',
  // useFirestoreForProfile: true // Firestore for Profile instead of Realtime DB
}

// initialize firebase instance
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig)

// initialize firestore
// firebase.firestore() // <- needed if using firestore

// Add reactReduxFirebase enhancer when making store creator
const createStoreWithFirebase = compose(
  reactReduxFirebase(firebase, rrfConfig), // firebase instance as first argument
  // reduxFirestore(firebase) // <- needed if using firestore
)(createStore)

// Add firebase to reducers
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
  firebase: firebaseReducer,
  // firestore: firestoreReducer // <- needed if using firestore
})

// Create store with reducers and initial state
const initialState = {}
const store = createStoreWithFirebase(rootReducer, initialState)

// Setup react-redux so that connect HOC can be used
const App = () => (
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Todos />
  </Provider>
);

render(<App/>, document.getElementById('root'));

The Firebase instance can then be grabbed from context within your components (withFirebase and firebaseConnect Higher Order Components provided to help):

Add Data

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { withFirebase } from 'react-redux-firebase'

const Todos = ({ firebase }) => {
  const sampleTodo = { text: 'Sample', done: false }
  const pushSample = () => firebase.push('todos', sampleTodo)
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Todos</h1>
      <ul>
        {todosList}
      </ul>
      <input type="text" ref="newTodo" />
      <button onClick={pushSample}>
        Add
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

export default withFirebase(Todos)
// or firebaseConnect()(Todos)

Load Data (listeners automatically managed on mount/unmount)

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { compose } from 'redux'
import { firebaseConnect, isLoaded, isEmpty } from 'react-redux-firebase'

const Todos = ({ todos, firebase }) => {
  // Build Todos list if todos exist and are loaded
  const todosList = !isLoaded(todos)
    ? 'Loading'
    : isEmpty(todos)
      ? 'Todo list is empty'
      : Object.keys(todos).map(
          (key, id) => (
            <TodoItem key={key} id={id} todo={todos[key]}/>
          )
        )
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Todos</h1>
      <ul>
        {todosList}
      </ul>
      <input type="text" ref="newTodo" />
      <button onClick={this.handleAdd}>
        Add
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

export default compose(
  firebaseConnect([
    'todos' // { path: '/todos' } // object notation
  ]),
  connect((state) => ({
    todos: state.firebase.data.todos,
    // profile: state.firebase.profile // load profile
  }))
)(Todos)

Queries Based On Props

It is common to make a detail page that loads a single item instead of a whole list of items. A query for a specific Todos can be created using

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { compose } from 'redux'
import { firebaseConnect, getVal } from 'react-redux-firebase'

// Component enhancer that loads todo into redux then into the todo prop
const enhance = compose(
  firebaseConnect((props) => {
    // Set listeners based on props (prop is route parameter from react-router in this case)
    return [
      { path: `todos/${props.params.todoId}` }, // create todo listener
      // `todos/${props.params.todoId}` // equivalent string notation
    ]
  }),
  connect(({ firebase }, props) => ({
    todo: getVal(firebase, `todos/${props.params.todoId}`), // lodash's get can also be used
  }))
)

const Todo = ({ todo, firebase, params }) =>
  <div>
    <input
      name="isDone"
      type="checkbox"
      checked={todo.isDone}
      onChange={() =>
        firebase.update(`todos/${params.todoId}`, { done: !todo.isDone })
      }
    />
    <span>{todo.label}</span>
  </div>

// Export enhanced component
export default enhance(Todo)

Load Data On Click

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { compose } from 'redux'
import { withFirebase, isLoaded, isEmpty } from 'react-redux-firebase'

const Todos = ({ firebase }) => {
  // Build Todos list if todos exist and are loaded
  const todosList = !isLoaded(todos)
    ? 'Loading'
    : isEmpty(todos)
      ? 'Todo list is empty'
      : Object.keys(todos).map(
          (key, id) => <TodoItem key={key} id={id} todo={todos[key]}/>
        )
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Todos</h1>
      <ul>
        {todosList}
      </ul>
      <button onClick={() => firebase.watchEvent('value', 'todos')}>
        Load Todos
      </button>
    </div>
  )
}

// Export enhanced component
export default compose(
  withFirebase, // or firebaseConnect()
  connect((state) => ({
    todos: state.firebase.data.todos,
    // profile: state.firebase.profile // load profile
  }))
)(Todos)

Firestore

If you plan to use Firestore, you should checkout redux-firestore. It integrates nicely with react-redux-firebase and it allows you to run Real Time Database and Firestore along side each other.

react-redux-firebase provides the firestoreConnect HOC (similar to firebaseConnect) for easy setting/unsetting of listeners.

Currently react-redux-firebase still handles auth when using redux-firestore - The future plan is to also have auth standalone auth library that will allow the developer to choose which pieces they do/do not want.

Examples folder is broken into two categories snippets and complete. /complete contains full applications that can be run as is, where as /snippets contains small amounts of code to highlight specific functionality (dev tools and deps not included).

State Based Query Snippet

Snippet showing querying based on data in redux state. One of the more common examples is querying based on the current users auth UID.

Decorators Snippet

Snippet showing how to use decorators to simplify connect functions (redux's connect and react-redux-firebase's firebaseConnect)

Simple App Example

A simple example that was created using create-react-app's. Shows a list of todo items and allows you to add to them.

Material App Example

An example that user Material UI built on top of the output of create-react-app's eject command. Shows a list of todo items and allows you to add to them. This is what is deployed to redux-firebasev3.firebaseapp.com.

Builds

Most commonly people consume Redux Firestore as a CommonJS module. This module is what you get when you import redux in a Webpack, Browserify, or a Node environment.

If you don't use a module bundler, it's also fine. The redux-firestore npm package includes precompiled production and development UMD builds in the dist folder. They can be used directly without a bundler and are thus compatible with many popular JavaScript module loaders and environments. For example, you can drop a UMD build as a <script> tag on the page. The UMD builds make Redux Firestore available as a window.ReduxFirestore global variable.

It can be imported like so:

<script src="../node_modules/react-redux-firebase/dist/react-redux-firebase.min.js"></script>
<!-- or through cdn: <script src="https://unpkg.com/react-redux-firebase@latest/dist/react-redux-firebase.min.js"></script> -->
<script>console.log('react redux firebase:', window.ReactReduxFirebase)</script>

Note: In an effort to keep things simple, the wording from this explanation was modeled after the installation section of the Redux Docs.
