Firebase API php implementation

Firebase php

Php implementation of Firebase API., _(*1)

Why

This package is built to be simple, scalable and configurable to allow easy integration in other packages or frameworks (ex: laravel-firebase )., _(*2)

This package uses google/auth to generate OAuth2.0 tokens from the service account and guzzlehttp/guzzle as http library., _(*3)

Install

Install it with composer via, _(*4)

composer require plokko/firebase-php, _(*5)

Usage

All the calls on the API are made using a Firebase OAuth2.0 token, this token is generated using your ServiceAccount informations., _(*6)

Service Account

To use the API you need to authenticate the requests with your service account: this is done by the ServiceAccount class that uses your Firebase ServiceAccount json credential file. You can download your service account json file from the Firebase console in settings > service accounts, keep in mind to store this file in a secure non-public location., _(*7)

use Plokko\Firebase\ServiceAccount;

//Use one of those methods:
$sa = new ServiceAccount('/path/to/your/serviceaccount/file.json');
$sa = new ServiceAccount('{"type":"service_account",..............}');
$sa = new ServiceAccount(['type'=>'service_account',/*...*/]);

Accepted methods for the constructor are: - string: ServiceAccount file content (json string) - string: path to the serviceAccount json file - array: php-translated array of the service account content, _(*8)

You can also add a token cache handler via the setCacheHandler method that accepts an implementation of CacheItemPoolInterface to allow custom cache integrations., _(*9)

see google/auth MemoryCacheItemPool for an example implementation:, _(*10)

$handler = new Google\Auth\Cache\MemoryCacheItemPool\MemoryCacheItemPool();
$sa->setCacheHandler($handler);
