QUESTION: Real Time Database as backend

[cngeru]

Is it possible to use the firebase realtime database as the backend ?

[cudr]

Yes, sure. You need NodeJS firebase rest client, and connect slate-collaborative/backend methods onDocumentLoad and onDocumentSave with your firebase entities query.

[cngeru]

I can't find the rest client.. Or is it just the regular firebase package ?
Is there an example code snippet with this and will the data be streamed to the other clients ?
Can once sync with the db after an event (onClick) or intervals to reduce the number of calls?

[cngeru]

Is there an example using JS ?

[cudr]

@cngeru I mean firebase-admin nodejs sdk. You could read more here

@cudr can I use the real time database Read data once capability to read the initial data then listen for updates on the documents.
Is this possible and where would I connect the function ?
Instead of having real time updates how do I implement the sync with a click of a button ?
