This package is the way to use firebase features on all platforms without code changes. Its developed by using these packages(For desktop part):

firebase_dart & firedart are both great packages that will suffice all your needs for firebase. On non-windows patforms it is more desirable to use original package with minimum risk of bugs and problems.

This package will deal with channelizing task of these packages for you. It will automatically switch between packages and allow you to run "Firedart" on Windows and "cloud_firestore" on any other platform.

New classes and functions have been designed carefully so that you dont have to modify your old codes and migrate your project very easily.

Like everyone else, I'm looking forward to the end of the flutterFire desktop process. I hope this library can help a little bit until then

Features

Currently supports the following firebase services:

  • Authentication
  • Cloud firestore
  • Cloud storage

Examples

All examples in example/lib/functions.dart

Usage

The documentation link will be added in future

You must add the library as a dependency to your project.

dependencies:
 firebase_for_all: ^latest

If you setup your Firebase via FlutterFire CLI then InitializeApp function will throw an error. Do this to avoid this error:

dependency_overrides:
  firebase_core_platform_interface: 4.5.1

Then run flutter packages get

Getting started

Initiliaze firebase and choose the features you want. There are two ways to configure firebase for your project.

  • Old school way: configure everything by hand
  • New flutterfire way by using firebase CLI

Old school way:

  await FirebaseCoreForAll.initializeApp(
      options: FirebaseOptions(
        apiKey: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
        appId: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
        messagingSenderId: 'XXXXXXXXXXX',
        projectId: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXX',
        authDomain: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX.firebaseapp.com',
        storageBucket: 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX.appspot.com',
      ),
      firestore: true,
      auth: true,
      storage: true);

New flutterfire way:

  await FirebaseCoreForAll.initializeApp(
      options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
      firestore: true,
      auth: true,
      storage: true);

Cloud Storage

get FirebaseAuth.instance with "FirebaseAuthForAll.instance"

    await FirebaseAuthForAll.instance.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email: "test@hotmail.com", password: "password123");

Cloud Firestore

Document & Query Snapshots

QuerySnapshot

FirestoreForAll.instance
.collection('users')
.get()
.then((QuerySnapshotForAll querySnapshot) {
    querySnapshot.docs.forEach((doc) {
        print(doc["first_name"]);
    });
});

DocumentSnapshot

FirestoreForAll.instance
    .collection('users')
    .doc(userId)
    .get()
    .then((DocumentSnapshotForAll documentSnapshot) {
      if (documentSnapshot.exists) {
        print('Document data: ${documentSnapshot.data()}');
      } else {
        print('Document does not exist on the database');
      }
    });

Querying

Filtering

Warning: "isNotEqualTo" and "whereNotIn" dont work on desktop(except MACOS). You should use it with this in mind

FirestoreForAll.instance
    .collection('users')
    .where('age', isGreaterThan: 10)
    .get()
    .then(...);

Ordering

FirestoreForAll.instance
    .collection('users')
    .orderBy('age', descending: true)
    .get()
    .then(...);

Limiting

Warning: "limitToLast" doesnt work on desktop(except MACOS). You should use it with this in mind

FirestoreForAll.instance
    .collection('users')
    .limit(2)
    .get()
    .then(...);

Start & End Cursors

Warning: Unfortunately this feature doesnt work on desktop(except MACOS)

FirestoreForAll.instance
    .collection('users')
    .orderBy('age')
    .orderBy('company')
    .startAt([4, 'Alphabet Inc.'])
    .endAt([21, 'Google LLC'])
    .get()
    .then(...);

Adding&Updating&Deleting Documents

ColRef users = FirestoreForAll.instance.collection('users');
users
    .add({
      'full_name': fullName, // John Doe
      'company': company, // Stokes and Sons
      'age': age // 42
    })
    .then((value) => print("User Added"))
    .catchError((error) => print("Failed to add user: $error"));

users
    .doc("12345")
    .set({
      'full_name': fullName, // John Doe
      'company': company, // Stokes and Sons
      'age': age // 42
    })
    .then((value) => print("User Added"))
    .catchError((error) => print("Failed to add user: $error"));

users
    .doc('ABC123')
    .update({'company': 'Stokes and Sons'})
    .then((value) => print("User Updated"))
    .catchError((error) => print("Failed to update user: $error"));

users
    .doc('ABC123')
    .delete()
    .then((value) => print("User Deleted"))
    .catchError((error) => print("Failed to delete user: $error"));

Realtime changes

Listening collection

CollectionSnapshots  collectionSnapshots  = FirestoreForAll.instance.collection('users').snapshots();
collectionSnapshots.listen(
  (snapshot) {},
  onDone: () {},
  onError: (e, stackTrace) {},
);

Warning: StreamBuilder doesnt work for this one. Use this instead:

CollectionBuilder(
        stream: FirestoreForAll.instance.collection("users").snapshots(),
        builder: (BuildContext context,
            AsyncSnapshot<QuerySnapshotForAll> snapshot) {
          if (snapshot.hasError) {
            return Text('Something went wrong');
          }

          if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
            return Text("Loading");
          }

          return ListView(
            children:
                snapshot.data!.docs.map((DocumentSnapshotForAll document) {
              Map<String, dynamic> data =
                  document.data() as Map<String, dynamic>;
              return ListTile(
                title: Text(data['name']),
                subtitle: Text(data['surname']),
              );
            }).toList(),
          );
        },
      )

Listening document

DocumentSnapshots documentSnapshots=FirestoreForAll.instance.collection('users').doc('ABC123').snapshots();
documentSnapshots.listen(
  (snapshot) {},
  onDone: () {},
  onError: (e, stackTrace) {},
);

Warning: StreamBuilder doesnt work for this one. Use this instead:

DocumentBuilder(
        stream: FirestoreForAll.instance
            .collection("users")
            .doc('ABC123')
            .snapshots(),
        builder: (BuildContext context,
            AsyncSnapshot<DocumentSnapshotForAll> snapshot) {
          if (snapshot.hasError) {
            return Text('Something went wrong');
          }

          if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
            return Text("Loading");
          }

          return ListTile(
            title: Text(snapshot.data!['name']),
            subtitle: Text(snapshot.data!['surname']),
          );
        },
      )

Typing CollectionReference and DocumentReference

The only thing that has changed here is "User.fromJson(snapshot.map!)" instead of "User.fromJson(snapshot.data()!)"

final moviesRef = FirestoreForAll.instance.collection('movies').withConverter<User>(
      fromFirestore: (snapshot, _) => User.fromJson(snapshot.map!),
      toFirestore: (movie, _) => movie.toJson(),
    );

// Obtain 31 aged users
  List<DocumentSnapshotForAll<User>> users = await userRef
      .where('age', isEqualTo: 31)
      .get()
      .then((snapshot) => snapshot.docs);

  // Add a user
  await userRef.add(
    User(
      name: 'Chris',
      surname: 'Doe',
      age: 20
    ),
  );

  // Get a user with the id 42
  User user = await userRef.doc('42').get().then((snapshot) => snapshot.data()!);

Cloud Storage

  // The items under storageRef.
}
