Networked-AFrame Firebase Adapter
Network adapter for networked-aframe that uses Firebase as a backend.
Running the Example
git clone https://github.com/networked-aframe/naf-firebase-adapter
cd naf-firebase-adapter
npm install # or use yarn
# Set firebase credentials in example/index.html
npm start
With the server running, browse the example at http://localhost:8080. Open another browser tab and point it to the same URL to see the other client.
Setting Up Firebase
Firebase is a "serverless" network solution provided by Google. In NAF's case it can be used to establish connections between clients in a peer-to-peer fashion, without having to host a signalling (connection) server.
Steps to setup Firebase:
- Sign up for a Firebase account
- Create a new Firebase project
- Go to Database -> Rules and change them to the following (warning: not safe for production, just developing)
"rules": ".read": true ".write": true
- Click publish
- Go back to the project overview
- Click "Add Firebase to your web app"
- Copy the credentials into your HTML page
Use in an existing project
After setting up firebase include and configure naf-firebase-adapter
.
<!-- Include naf-firebase-adapter *after* networked-aframe --> <!-- Set the Firebase credentials --> <!-- Set adapter to firebase -->
