Is it possible to use firebase v3 in ionic 2

for the past 2-3 days i’ve been trying to integrate firebase with ionic 2 project…
the project works good in browser but didn’t worked when i used it on my android device.
And no separate tutorials are present to achieve the same.
Can anyone guide me is it possible to use fb/gogle integration with ionic 2 using firebasev3

check this link www.webcake.co

yes i have tried this(may be the only tutorial for firebasev3 and ionic 2) but…it doest tell much about how to use firebase for autherization.

I think firebase3 does not match with ionic2.
I had tried that, it works on web, but does not work on android.
So i had with firebase2.

I’m not quite sure if it’s a good idea to start using Firebase v3 right away:

steida: While Firebase 3 has super nice new features, it’s still buggy so we can not upgrade.

The official library for Firebase and Angular 2 is also not quite ready yet:

AngularFire2 is currently not on new Firebase 3.0 SDK, but there is an update in progress.

However if you still want to experiment with Firebase 3 check out the upgrade guide for instructions on how to update your current code to work with Firebase 3.

Full project posted here… https://github.com/aaronksaunders/ionic2firebase3

This sample shows using firebase 3.0.3 with Ionic2 for authentication, listening for state changes and retrieving data

import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
import {Observable} from "rxjs/Observable";
//import * as firebase from "firebase";
declare var firebase: any;

@Injectable()
export class FirebaseService {

    constructor() {
        // Initialize Firebase
        var config = {
            apiKey: "all-you",
            authDomain: "all-you-all-you.firebaseapp.com",
            databaseURL: "https://all-you-all-you.firebaseio.com",
            storageBucket: "all-you-all-you.appspot.com",
        };
        firebase.initializeApp(config);

        // check for changes in auth status

        firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((_currentUser) => {
            if (_currentUser) {
                console.log("User " + _currentUser.uid + " is logged in with " + _currentUser.provider);
            } else {
                console.log("User is logged out");
            }
        })
    }

    logout() {
        firebase.auth().signOut()
    }

    login(_username) {
        var that = this

        return new Observable(observer => {
            return firebase.auth().signInWithEmailAndPassword(_username, "password")
                .then(function (authData) {
                    console.log("Authenticated successfully with payload-", authData);
                    observer.next(authData)
                }).catch(function (_error) {
                    console.log("Login Failed!", _error);
                    observer.error(_error)
                })
        });
    }

    getDataObs() {
        var ref = firebase.database().ref('textItems')
        var that = this

        return new Observable(observer => {
            ref.on('value',
                (snapshot) => {
                    var arr = []

                    snapshot.forEach(function (childSnapshot) {
                        var data = childSnapshot.val()
                        data['id'] = childSnapshot.key
                        arr.push(data);
                    });
                    observer.next(arr)
                },
                (error) => {
                    console.log("ERROR:", error)
                    observer.error(error)
                });
        });
    }
}

Hi Aaron,

Any chance of upgrading the ionic 2 firebase 3 project to work with Ionic rc ? Thank you !!

@tonyawad88 I am starting that process now… please follow this repo:

My temporary fix for this,

May be till firebase 3 is released in official npm as @types.

Try the following link, that works for me, but I’m having problems with RC0 android build, I don’t know if with AngularFire or with LocalStorage plugin.

https://playcode.org/getting-started-with-ionic-2-rc0-firebase-3-angularfire-2/

However, I hope future integration be easier, it was easier with the beta version than now.

@alejandrocao the project I have listed above resolves the issue and the updated type definitions are included in the latest npm package for firebase…, please see the instructions listed in the project readme. https://github.com/aaronksaunders/ionic2rc0-firebase/blob/master/README.md

@aaronksaunders https://forum.ionicframework.com/users/aaronksaunders the
code you linked is for firebase integration, the one I linked is for using
angularfire2, could be?

but isn’t Typescript using @types and not typings? I dont even have typings installed in my project now. Is this the only way?


anyone checked Out?

Hey @Sperk are you having any issues with that tutorial?
