Get Started

Add EasyFirebase to your project using Swift Package Manager:

https://github.com/Flowductive/easy-firebase

Import EasyFirebase:

import EasyFirebase

Configure at app launch:

// You don't need to call FirebaseApp.configure() when this is called!
EasyFirebase.configure()

πŸ”₯ Firestore Feature Showcase

Built-in Document protocol

Save time writing model classes with the built-in Document protocol:

class Car: Document {
  
  // These properties are inherited from Document
  var id: String = UUID().uuidString
  var dateCreated: Date = Date()
  
  // Define your own custom properties
  var make: String
  var model: String
  var year: Int
  
  init(make: String, model: String, year: Int) {
    // ...
  }
}

Document Storage

Store documents anywhere in your code:

var myCar = Car(make: "Toyota", model: "Corolla", year: 2017)

// Store the car instance in the 'car' collection in Firestore
myCar.set()

// Static method that does the same as above
EasyFirestore.Storage.set(myCar)

Document Retrieval

Grab documents easily without needing to specify a collection name:

EasyFirestore.Retrieval.get(id: myCarID, ofType: Car.self) { car in
  guard let car = car else { return }
  self.myOtherCar = car
}

Document Updating

Update fields remotely in Firestore without performing any reads.

// Append element to array
EasyFirestore.Updating.append(\.ingredients, with: "Cheese", in: pizzaDocument) { error in ... }

// Increment field
EasyFirestore.Updating.increment(\.pepperoniCount, by: 5, in: pizzaDocument)

// Remove elements from array
EasyFirestore.Updating.remove(\.ingredients, taking: ["Garlic", "Anchovies", "Pineapple"], from: pizzaDocument)

Update Listeners

Grab documents and update the local instance when changed in Firestore:

EasyFirestore.Listening.listen(to: otherCarID, ofType: Car.self, key: "myCarListenerKey") { car in
  // Updates when changed in Firestore
  guard let car = car else { return }
  self.myOtherCar = car
}

Built-In Cacheing

EasyFirestore will automatically cache fetched documents locally and will use the cached doucments when retrieving to reduce your Firestore read count.

// EasyFirebase will automatically cache fetched objects for you, here is a manual example
EasyFirestore.Cacheing.register(myCar)

// Get locally cached objects instantly. Retrieving objects using EasyFirestore.Retrieval will grab cached objects if they exist
var cachedCar = EasyFirestore.Cacheing.grab(myCarID, fromType: Car.self)

Easy Linking

Link child documents to an array of IDs in a parent document:

var car1 = Car(make: "Toyota", model: "Corolla", year: 2017)
var car2 = Car(make: "Honda", model: "Civic", year: 2019)

var dealership = Dealership(name: "Los Angeles Dealership")

// Set and assign the Toyota Corolla to the Los Angeles Dealership
car1.setAssign(toField: "cars", using: \.cars, in: dealership)

// Set and assign the Honda Civic to the Los Angeles Dealership
car2.set()
car2.assign(toField: "cars", using: \.cars, in: dealership)

Swifty Querying

Easily query for documents:

EasyFirestore.Querying.where(\Car.make, .equals, "Toyota") { cars in
  // Handle your queried documents here...
}

Use multiple conditions for queries; order and limit results:

EasyFirestore.Querying.where((\Car.year, .greaterEqualTo, 2010),
                             (\Car.model, .in, ["Corolla", "Camry"]),
                             order: .ascending,
                             limit: 5
) { cars in
  // ...
}

πŸ”‘ Authentication Feature Showcase

Easy User Protocol

Save time writing user classes with the built-in EasyUser open class:

class MyUser: EasyUser {
  
  // EasyUser comes pre-built with these automatically updated properties
  var lastSignon: Date
  var displayName: String
  var username: String
  var email: String
  var appVersion: String
  var deviceToken: String?
  var notifications: [MessagingNotification]
  var disabledMessageCategories: [MessageCategory]
  var progress: Int
  var id: String
  var dateCreated: Date
  
  // Define your own custom properties
  var cars: [Car.ID]

  // ...
}

⚠️ Note: Be sure to read the the wiki to implement this properly!

Email Auth

Authenticate with an email and password easily:

EasyAuth.createAccount(email: "easy.firebase@example.com", password: "76dp2[&y4;JLyu:F") { error in
  if let error = error {
    print(error.localizedDescription)
  } else {
    // Account created!
  }
}

EasyAuth.signIn(email: "easy.firebase@example.com", password: "76dp2[&y4;JLyu:F") { error in
  // ...
}

Sign In with Google

Authenticate with Google:

// iOS
EasyAuth.signInWithGoogle(clientID: "xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx") { error in
  // ...
}

// macOS
EasyAuth.signInWithGoogle(clientID: "xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
                          secret: "GOCSPX-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx") { error in
  // ...
}

Sign In with Apple

Authenticate with Apple:

// iOS + macOS
EasyAuth.signInWithApple()

Built-In Usernames

Generate unique usernames and update easily:

user.safelyUpdateUsername(to: "myNewUsername", ofUserType: MyUser.self) { error, suggestion in
 if let error = error {
   // ...
 } else if let suggestion = suggestion {
   // Username taken, provide the user with an available username suggestion.
 } else {
   // Success! Username changed.
 }
}

Robust User Management

Quickly update and manage EasyAuth users:

// Send a verfication email to the currently signed-in user
user.sendEmailVerification(completion: { error in })
// Upload and update the current user's profile photo
user.updatePhoto(with: myPhotoData, ofUserType: FUser.self, completion: { error in })
// Send the current user's password reset form to a specified email
user.sendPasswordReset(toEmail: "myResetEmail@example.com", completion: { error in })
// Update the current user's display name
user.updateDisplayName(to: "New_DisplayName", ofUserType: MyUser.self, completion: { error in })
// Update the current user's password
user.updatePassword(to: "newPassword", completion: { error in })
// Delete the current user
user.delete(ofUserType: MyUser.self, completion: { error in })

πŸ“¦ Storage Feature Showcase

Data Storage

Quickly assign data to Firebase Storage using a single line of code.

// Upload image data and get an associated URL
EasyStorage.put(imageData, to: StorageResource(id: user.id)) { url in }

// EasyStorage will automatically delete existing images matching the same ID (if in the same folder)
EasyStorage.put(imageData,to: StorageResource(id: user.id, folder: "myFolder"), progress: { updatedProgress in
  // Update progress text label using updatedProgress
}, completion: { url in
  // Handle the image's URL
})

☁️ Cloud Messaging Feature Showcase

Built-in User Notifications

Easily send and notify other users without all the tedious setup. Just add a serverKey from Firebase Console.

// Set your Server Key
EasyMessaging.serverKey = "xxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

// Create the notification
let notification = MessagingNotification("Message body", from: me, in: "Test Category")

// Send the notification to the user
// Appends to the notifications property, unless the specified category is in the user's disabledMessageCategories
EasyMessaging.send(notification, to: you)

πŸ“Š Analytics Feature Showcase

Easily Log Events

To log an event, you can use EasyAnalytics' static methods:

EasyAnalytics.log("food_eaten", data: [
 "name": "Hot Dog",
 "isHot": true
])

If you have a model that conforms to AnalyticsLoggable, you can log events using the model itself:

let hotdog = Food(name: "Hot Dog", temperature: 81)
EasyAnalytics.log("food_eaten", model: hotdog)

Alternatively, you can call the logging method from the model itself:

hotdog.log(key: "food_eaten")

Integrated User Properties

Override the analyticsProperties() method to automatically update user properties on app launch:

struct MyUser: EasyUser {
  // ...
  var favoriteCar: String
  func analyticsProperties() -> [String: String] {
    return ["app_version": appVersion, "favorite_car": favoriteCar]
  }
}

Manually update the user properties to Firebase Analytics:

myUser.updateAnalyticsUserProperties()
