purgeOutstandingWrites() → Future<void>
The Firebase Database client automatically queues writes and sends them to the server at the earliest opportunity, depending on network connectivity. In some cases (e.g. offline usage) there may be a large number of writes waiting to be sent. Calling this method will purge all outstanding writes so they are abandoned.
ref([String? path]) → DatabaseReference
Returns a DatabaseReference representing the location in the Database corresponding to the provided path. If no path is provided, the Reference will point to the root of the Database.
reference() → DatabaseReference
Returns a DatabaseReference accessing the root of the database.
refFromURL(String url) → DatabaseReference
Returns a DatabaseReference representing the location in the Database corresponding to the provided Firebase URL.
setLoggingEnabled(bool enabled) → void
Enables verbose diagnostic logging for debugging your application. This must be called before any other usage of FirebaseDatabase instance. By default, diagnostic logging is disabled.
setPersistenceCacheSizeBytes(int cacheSize) → void
Attempts to set the size of the persistence cache.
setPersistenceEnabled(bool enabled) → void
Attempts to sets the database persistence to enabled.
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
useDatabaseEmulator(String host, int port, {bool automaticHostMapping = true}) → void
Changes this instance to point to a FirebaseDatabase emulator running locally.
