Firebase Auth

UI Bakery allows you to easily connect to a Firebase's Admin API with no need for additional layers (APIs or 3rd-party services). You can connect to Firebase, Realtime DB and Auth.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Firebase services, you will need one or several of the below credentials:

• Firebase project ID: navigate the Firebase console, and copy the project ID of the required project.

• Firebase database URL: navigate your project, and select Realtime Database from the left side menu. Copy your project URL (the pattern is https://your_project.firebaseio.com/) and paste it into UI Bakery.

• Private key: navigate the project settings - Service accounts. Select Firebase Admin SDK and click Generate new private key.

Connecting data source

To connect Firebase as a data source, follow the below steps:

• navigate the Data sources - Connect. Select Firebase Auth, Realtime Database or Firestore depending on your service. Specify the required credentials to continue the setup.

• for Firebase Auth, specify the Private key:

• for Realtime DB, specify the Private key and the Firebase database URL:

• for Firestore, specify the project ID and the private key:

• click Connect data source to complete the setup.

Working with Realtime DB

Querying the database

To query the Realtime database, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Realtime DB from the data sources list. Next, select Query as a Realtime database method. Specify your database ref.

To enable additional filtering options, switch on the Use ordering toggle. Available filters:

• ordering by child, key, value, or priority;

• ordering by limit (limit to first/ to last);

• filtering queries with equalTo, startAt, endAt.

Setting or updating data

In Firebase database, you can use two approaches to updating data: set and update.

• set rewrites the current values of an item;

• update updates the required values of an item, but doesn't rewrite all the values of an object

To use the set method, select it from the action dropdown, specify the database ref and a data object.

To use the update method, select it from the dropdown, specify the database ref and a data object.

Working with Firestore

Getting collections list

To get a list of your collections, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore data source from the data sources list. Choose Get collection list as a Firestore method. Provide a Parent document ID or leave blank for top level collections.

Querying Firestore

To query Firestore, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore data source from the data sources list. Next, select Query as a Firestore method. Specify your collection name. You can filter your query by values, add limits, add ordering by a certain field.

Getting a document by ID

To get a document by ID, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore data source from the data sources list. Select Get document by ID as a Firestore method and specify the collection name and a document ID. Document ID can receive dynamic values passed in {{}}.

Updating a document

To update a document, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore data source from the data sources list. Next, select Update document as a Firestore method. Specify the collection name, a document ID and objects that need to be updated. Document ID and values can receive dynamic values passed in {{}}.

Inserting a document

To insert a document, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore data source from the data sources list. Then, select Insert document as a Firestore method. Since the pattern of document insert is the same as for updating a document, you can leave a document ID blank, and Firestore will generate it automatically.

Deleting document

To delete a document, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore data source from the data sources list. Choose Delete document as a Firestore method, and only provide the document ID. Document ID can receive dynamic values passed in {{}}.

Working with Firebase Auth

With UI Bakery, you can manage your users from the Firebase Authentication setup, namely view, update, create new and delete existing users.

Listing users

To get a list of your users, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore auth data source from the data sources list. Choose List users as a Firebase Auth method. You can limit the number of returned users if required.

Getting a user by UID/ email/ phone number

To get a certain user by their UID, phone number or email, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore auth data source from the data sources list. Choose Get user by UID/ email/ phone number as a Firebase Auth method.

Creating a new user

To create a new user, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore auth data source from the data sources list. Set Create user as a Firebase Auth method and provide a user object.

Updating a user

To update user's information, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore auth data source from the data sources list. Choose Update user as a Firebase Auth method. Specify user's UID and the update object.

Deleting a user

To delete a user, select a Firebase Query in the actions list and select your Firestore auth data source from the data sources list. Choose Delete user as a Firebase Auth method and specify user's UID.
