Ionic-native: Firebase real time database support

[Sampath-Lokuge]

Hi,
Can we have a real-time database support for the below plugin? Thanks.

Hey @Sampath-Lokuge,
for this kind of usage, you should use the official Angularfire2 package from the Firebase Team.

I would go with what @danielsogl suggested. If you wish to have a native plugin added with that functionality, please provide a repository that we can have a look at.

Hi @ihadeed
Sorry I didn't get exactly what you mean? There is a repository which doesn't have real-time database support. That repo is mentioned on your doc also.That is this: https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase. Is that what you need or what?

I meant that the current plugin doesn't support real-time database functionality. Unless if you find a plugin with that functionality, we wouldn't be able to add it here. Ionic native is just a wrapper for Cordova plugins.

[Sampath-Lokuge]

Oh.. got it.Hope there is no such plugin yet.I'l try with the Angularfire2. Thanks @ihadeed

Oh.. It is there.Have you used that plugin @stormwin ?

[stormwin]

I created my own plugin where i merged current firebase plugin and database plugin in one. Then i created my own ionic-native plugin for that..

I can tell you that database plugin (https://github.com/blakgeek/cordova-plugin-firebase-database) works OK. There is one bug with some filters i think in js scripts

Oh.. Is it working properly? Can we have more info about that? Will you fix the issues which are on the Git repo? It seems you didn't do any changes after Jan 24? @stormwin
