METHODS

new

Constructor

firebase

Required. The name of your firebase.

auth

The parameters you'd pass to create a Firebase::Auth object. This is a shortcut for constructing the object yourself and passing it into authobj.

authobj

agent

A user agent. An HTTP::Thin object will be generated for you automatically if you don't supply one.

get

Fetch some data from firebase.

path

The path to the info you want to fetch.

put

Put some data into a firebase.

path

The path where the info should be stored.

params

A hash reference of parameters to be stored at this location.

Warning: Firebase doesn't work with arrays, so you can nest scalars and hashes here, but not arrays.

patch

path

The path where the info should be stored.

params

A hash reference of parameters to be updated at this location.

post

Adds data to an existing location, creating a hash of objects below the path.

The path where the info is that you want deleted.

Any parameters you need to pass for any reason.
