Hello thunkers,
I want to start a thread for testing of the firebase component. To my understanding, it is only possible to connect to the private firebase after publishing the iOS App in the App Store.
But I just started testing without using my private firebase, and it worked out of the box
1.) First limitation, I found was, that our beautiful german symbols (ä, ö, ü, ß) are not supported when using them as key
2.) Really nice, to see it work. Next limitation is, that there is no get tag list, like in the android firebase component. That does not matter too much, but it is neither possible to get a parent key from the JSON tree. If I would be able to get the value of the parent JSON node, the I could use the split text components to produce a tag list
thank you albert for your reply. Unfortunely I belong to the “Oops! Your app Geheimtipp did not build”-email-group.
sometimes I use the get_taglist to make a list for the autocomplete textbox.
the other use-case is not so easy to explain: My firebase is structured actually like a SQL database with multiple rows. get_taglist could give the user the information, which rows exist.
that is also the reason, why I want to download a parent key:
get_taglist would bring the information: (Ford_Mustang, Toyota_Prius,…)
getting a parent node “Cars” would let me download all these informations at once
can anybody of the community or development team cheer me up by telling, that his/her iOS project is running on the iphone after downloading?
Or can tell me, tha she or he managed to download the app with firebase components?
(it feels so silent and lonely here on the iOS side of the forum )
thanks in advance!
A simple helloworld program is now successfully downloaded, but when I add the firebase component, the app does not built (so the email from steve jeaver said)
I hope, everybody who uses firebase with thunkable iOS or wants to use it shares their experiences in this thread! by using the image component, I use firebase storage as well for showing pictures in the app.
I will start with two issues:
Can I set another parent directory? Now I have to stick to a folder, which I do not how to change…where comes the number from?(I made a black block over it, because I did not know if its sensible data)
How to access data, which I do not know the location?
If a user uploads a new value, for example “sunshine” under the key “Thursday_June_5_2017”, and another user wants to get the information but cannot know, that it was this distinct date. (There is no taglist, or the possibility to catch the whole parent key in the JSON tree, which would have the name “wheather_in_2017”)
I use this workaround: Everytime a user stores a new key-value-pair, I store a separate value under the key “JSON_tree_Structure”. And this value has to be updated everytime a key-value-pair is written.
