Go: github.com/knq/firebase - v3+ implementation of Firebase Database API

[Kenneth Shaw]

Hi All,

I recently wrote and released a v3+ Firebase Database package that uses context and uses the Google auth process with service account credentials. I believe it is significantly simpler, easier, and more idiomatic Go than the other Golang packages that are available. Is is available here: https://github.com/knq/firebase

It can be used like the following:

    db, err := firebase.NewDatabaseRef(

        firebase.GoogleServiceAccountCredentialsFile("/path/to/credentials.json"),

    )

    if err != nil {

        log.Fatal(err)

    }

    res := make(map[string]interface{})

    err = db.Ref("/path/to/ref").Get(&res)

    if err != nil {

        log.Fatal(err)

    }

    log.Printf("received: %+v", res)

All the methods from the official clients have been implemented: Get, Push, Set, Update, Remove, as well as additional ones such as GetRulesJSON/SetRulesJSON, Listen/Watch, etc. The full GoDoc listing can be viewed here: https://godoc.org/github.com/knq/firebase

A more in depth example can be found here: https://github.com/knq/firebase/blob/master/example/example.go

Documentation is light at the moment, but I intend to fix that in the coming days. I will also add unit tests as soon as I have a chance.

Your comments / thoughts / criticism would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, if there is any glaring missing functionality, let me know and I'll likely add it if it makes sense to do so. Thanks!

-Ken

(ps: I will likely add supporting functionality for the other Firebase APIs at some point in the near future)

Hi Ken,

Thanks for sharing this! I hope others find it useful. 

Firebase looks pretty in Go. We should have more of that. : )
