Use Firebase as a CDN?

[Owen Densmore]

I'd like to store code on firebase. Would this work?

I realize code would just be a fb url to a string. But can I use that in a <script> tag?

If not, can I just download the string, wrap it in a Function Object's string, and execute that? Probably should work, right?

Hi Owen,

It really strongly depends on what you're trying to do. If this is infrequently changing code, I'd recommend Firebase Hosting. If it's user-supplied real-time code, then you won't be able to do it (and if you could it wouldn't be recommended). If you directly address a string leaf node from the realtime database, it will quote the response.

Thanks, saved a lot of time fussing around!

I would.  It's advertised as a Global CDN.  In terms of what type of code, I actually have some HTML stored/served in firebase nodes.  Just escape the double quotes with \.  The hosting itself will serve up static files - any flavor I would imagine.

The only thing is that there is no server side scripting supported (PHP,Python, etc).
