Firebase PHP Client

Based on the Firebase REST API.

Available on Packagist.

Adding Firebase PHP to your project using Composer

cd <your_project>
composer require ktamas77/firebase-php dev-master

More info about Composer at getcomposer.org.

Example

const DEFAULT_URL = 'https://kidsplace.firebaseio.com/';
const DEFAULT_TOKEN = 'MqL0c8tKCtheLSYcygYNtGhU8Z2hULOFs9OKPdEp';
const DEFAULT_PATH = '/firebase/example';

$firebase = new \Firebase\FirebaseLib(DEFAULT_URL, DEFAULT_TOKEN);

// --- storing an array ---
$test = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    "i_love" => "lamp",
    "id" => 42
);
$dateTime = new DateTime();
$firebase->set(DEFAULT_PATH . '/' . $dateTime->format('c'), $test);

// --- storing a string ---
$firebase->set(DEFAULT_PATH . '/name/contact001', "John Doe");

// --- reading the stored string ---
$name = $firebase->get(DEFAULT_PATH . '/name/contact001');

Supported Commands

// -- Firebase API commands

$firebase->set($path, $value);   // stores data in Firebase
$value = $firebase->get($path);  // reads a value from Firebase
$firebase->delete($path);        // deletes value from Firebase
$firebase->update($path, $data); // updates data in Firebase
$firebase->push($path, $data);   // push data to Firebase

// -- Firebase PHP Library commands

$firebase->setToken($token);     // set up Firebase token
$firebase->setBaseURI($uri);     // set up Firebase base URI (root node)
$firebase->setTimeOut($seconds); // set up maximum timeout / request

Please refer to the Firebase REST API documentation for further details.

Firebase PHP Stub

A Firebase PHP Stub has been created to allow for integration with phpunit without actually interacting with FirebaseIO.

To use the firebaseLib and firebaseStub in your application and testing, you must pass in a firebase object to your application.

For example, if your current code is:

public function setFirebaseValue($path, $value) {
  $firebase = new Firebase('https://radiant-fire-2427.firebaseio.com', 'czvEX8vMU8FZn4wYCvf466P3J6zH5ZlKQeuwxmEZ');
  $firebase->set($path, $value);
}

You will change it to be:

public function setFirebaseValue($path, $value, $firebase) {
  $firebase->set($path, $value);
}

Then your phpunit tests will look like:

<?php
  require_once '<path>/lib/firebaseInterface.php';
  require_once '<path>/lib/firebaseStub.php';

  class MyClass extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase
  {
    public function testSetFirebaseValue() {
      $myClass = new MyClass();
      $firebaseStub = new FirebaseStub($uri, $token);
      $myClass->setFirebaseValue($path, $value, $firebaseStub);
    }
  }
?>

Unit Tests

All the unit tests are found in the "/tests" directory. Due to the usage of an interface, the tests must run in isolation.

The firebaseLib tests have inherent latency due to actual cURL calls to a live firebaseIO account. The firebaseLib tests can be executed by running the following command:

$ phpunit tests/firebaseTest.php

The FirebaseStub tests can be executed by running the following command:

$ phpunit tests/firebaseStubTest.php
