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

Join the Firebase + Ember Google Group to ask technical questions, share apps you've built, and chat with other developers in the community.

Please consult this table when selecting your version of EmberFire:

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

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 and allow connections to the Firebase servers:

// config/environment.js
  var ENV = {
    // ...
    firebase: 'https://YOUR-FIREBASE-NAME.firebaseio.com/',
    // ...
    contentSecurityPolicy: {
      'connect-src': "'self' https://auth.firebase.com wss://*.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.

To publish an addon that exports functionality driven by EmberFire, note that EmberFire must be listed in the dependencies for NPM and not the devDependencies.

When consuming an addon that consumes EmberFire, running the initializing generator by hand is required.

ember generate ../node_modules/your-addon/node_modules/emberfire/blueprints/emberfire

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

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

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

From your emberfire workdir

• npm link
• npm prune --production (removes dev dependencies, these can trip you up!)

From your app workdir

• npm link emberfire

• Update your package.json so that emberfire is in devDependencies and is set to version 0.0.0

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

• ember test OR
• ember test --server

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

Example:

ember try ember-data-canary

• ember server
• Visit your app at http://localhost:4200.
