RealtimeDatabase is a JSON data store that allows for active subscriptions to data events.
It is primarily modeled after (and a wrapper around) Firebase's Realtime Database.
Simply install as a dependency: npm i -E realtime-db-adaptor.
This adaptor is transpiled as a commonjs module. It will be natively consumed if used in a node environment, and can be easily bundled for use on the web.
Here's the simplest example of constructing a RealtimeDatabase instance from an active firebase database. Keep in mind that the type argument is applied on top of the database. This wrapper will not provide runtime checks to make sure that the schema you pass in actually matches the structure of your database.
import firebase from "firebase";
import { wrapFirebaseDatabase } from "realtime-db-adaptor";
interface MySchema {
table1: { [key: string]: number; };
table2: { [key: string]: string; };
}
const db = wrapFirebaseDatabase<MySchema>(firebase.database());The whole purpose of this module is to provide a strong TypeScript experience when using the Realtime Database. The RealtimeDatabase type and all of the relevant ancillary types can be found at the generated documentation site.
