Firebase.FirebaseApp

Firebase application object.

Summary

FirebaseApp acts as a conduit for communication between all Firebase services used by an application. A default instance is created automatically, based on settings in your Firebase configuration file, and all of the Firebase APIs connect with it automatically.

Properties

DefaultInstance

static FirebaseApp DefaultInstance

Get the default FirebaseApp instance.

Details
Returns
Reference to the default app, if it hasn't been created this method will create it.

CheckAndFixDependenciesAsync

System.Threading.Tasks.Task< DependencyStatus > CheckAndFixDependenciesAsync()

Asynchronously checks if all of the necessary dependencies for Firebase are present on the system, and in the necessary state and attempts to fix them if they are not.

If it's appropriate for your app to handle checking and fixing dependencies separately, you can. Here's effectively what CheckAndFixDependenciesAsync does:

using System.Threading.Tasks;  // Needed for the Unwrap extension method.

// ...

Firebase.FirebaseApp.CheckDependenciesAsync().ContinueWith(checkTask => {
  // Peek at the status and see if we need to try to fix dependencies.
  Firebase.DependencyStatus status = checkTask.Result;
  if (status != Firebase.DependencyStatus.Available) {
    return Firebase.FirebaseApp.FixDependenciesAsync().ContinueWith(t => {
      return Firebase.FirebaseApp.CheckDependenciesAsync();
    }).Unwrap();
  } else {
    return checkTask;
  }
}).Unwrap().ContinueWith(task => {
  dependencyStatus = task.Result;
  if (dependencyStatus == Firebase.DependencyStatus.Available) {
    // TODO: Continue with Firebase initialization.
  } else {
    Debug.LogError(
      "Could not resolve all Firebase dependencies: " + dependencyStatus);
  }
});

Details
Returns
A Task that on completion will contain the DependencyStatus enum value, indicating the state of the required dependencies.

CheckDependenciesAsync

System.Threading.Tasks.Task< DependencyStatus > CheckDependenciesAsync()

Asynchronously checks if all of the necessary dependencies for Firebase are present on the system, and in the necessary state.

Details
Returns
A Task that on completion will contain the DependencyStatus enum value, indicating the state of the required dependencies.

Create

FirebaseApp Create()

Initializes the default FirebaseApp with default options.

Details
Returns
New FirebaseApp instance.

Create

FirebaseApp Create(
  AppOptions options
)

Initializes the default FirebaseApp with the given options.

Details
Parameters
options
Options that control the creation of the FirebaseApp.
Returns
New FirebaseApp instance.

Create

FirebaseApp Create(
  AppOptions options,
  string name
)

Initializes a FirebaseApp with the given options that operate on the named app.

Details
Parameters
options
Options that control the creation of the FirebaseApp.
name
Name of this FirebaseApp instance. This is only required when one application uses multiple FirebaseApp instances.
Returns
New FirebaseApp instance.

FixDependenciesAsync

System.Threading.Tasks.Task FixDependenciesAsync()

Attempts to fix any missing dependencies that would prevent Firebase from working on the system.

Since this function is asynchronous, the returned Task must be monitored in order to tell when it has completed. Also note, that depending on the fixes necessary, the user may be prompted for additional input.

Details
Returns
System.Threading.Tasks.Task A task that tracks the progress of the fix.

GetInstance

FirebaseApp GetInstance(
  string name
)

Get an instance of an app by name.

Details
Parameters
name
Name of the app to retrieve.
Returns
Reference to the app if it was previously created, null otherwise.
