Here are some examples of using the IOXhop_FirebaseESP32 library:
Example 1: Getting Data from Firebase
This example shows how to get data from Firebase using the get function. The function returns a FirebaseObject that contains the data and some metadata. You can use the success method to check if the operation was successful, and the intData, floatData, stringData, boolData, or jsonObject methods to get the data as different types. You can also use the error method to get the error message if the operation failed.
// Replace with your Firebase URL #define FIREBASE_URL " // Replace with your Firebase API key #define FIREBASE_API_KEY "your-api-key" // Replace with your WiFi network credentials #define WIFI_SSID "your-ssid" #define WIFI_PASSWORD "your-password" // Create a Firebase object Firebase firebase(FIREBASE_URL, FIREBASE_API_KEY); void setup() // Initialize serial monitor Serial.begin(115200); // Connect to WiFi WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD); Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi"); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) Serial.print("."); delay(500); Serial.println(); Serial.println("Connected to WiFi"); // Get data from Firebase Serial.println("Getting data from Firebase"); FirebaseObject obj = firebase.get("/test"); if (obj.success()) Serial.println("Success"); // Get data as int int value = obj.intData(); Serial.print("Value: "); Serial.println(value); else Serial.println("Failed"); // Get error message String error = obj.error(); Serial.print("Error: "); Serial.println(error); void loop() // Do nothing
Example 2: Setting Data in Firebase
This example shows how to set data in Firebase using the set function. The function takes a path and a value as parameters, and returns a boolean value indicating if the operation was successful or not. You can set data as different types such as int, float, String, bool, or JsonObject.
// Replace with your Firebase URL #define FIREBASE_URL " // Replace with your Firebase API key #define FIREBASE_API_KEY "your-api-key" // Replace with your WiFi network credentials #define WIFI_SSID "your-ssid" #define WIFI_PASSWORD "your-password" // Create a Firebase object Firebase firebase(FIREBASE_URL, FIREBASE_API_KEY); void setup() // Initialize serial monitor Serial.begin(115200); // Connect to WiFi WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD); Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi"); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) Serial.print("."); delay(500); Serial.println(); Serial.println("Connected to WiFi"); // Set data in Firebase Serial.println("Setting data in Firebase"); bool result = firebase.set("/test", 123); if (result) Serial.println("Success"); else Serial.println("Failed"); void loop() // Do nothing
Example 3: Pushing Data to Firebase
This example shows how to push data to Firebase using the push function. The function takes a path and a value as parameters, and returns a String containing the key of the new child node that was created. You can push data as different types such as int, float, String, bool, or JsonObject.
// Replace with your Firebase URL #define FIREBASE _URL " // Replace with your Firebase API key #define FIREBASE_API_KEY "your-api-key" // Replace with your WiFi network credentials #define WIFI_SSID "your-ssid" #define WIFI_PASSWORD "your-password" // Create a Firebase object Firebase firebase(FIREBASE_URL, FIREBASE_API_KEY); void setup() // Initialize serial monitor Serial.begin(115200); // Connect to WiFi WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD); Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi"); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) Serial.print("."); delay(500); Serial.println(); Serial.println("Connected to WiFi"); // Push data to Firebase Serial.println("Pushing data to Firebase"); String key = firebase.push("/test", "Hello"); if (key != "") Serial.println("Success"); Serial.print("Key: "); Serial.println(key); else Serial.println("Failed"); void loop() // Do nothing
Example 4: Streaming Data from Firebase
This example shows how to stream data from Firebase using the stream function. The function takes a path and a callback function as parameters, and returns a boolean value indicating if the operation was successful or not. The callback function is executed whenever there is an event or a data update in the specified path. The callback function takes a FirebaseObject as a parameter, which contains the event type, the path, and the data. You can use the eventType, path, and intData, floatData, stringData, boolData, or jsonObject methods to get the information from the FirebaseObject.
// Replace with your Firebase URL #define FIREBASE_URL " // Replace with your Firebase API key #define FIREBASE_API_KEY "your-api-key" // Replace with your WiFi network credentials #define WIFI_SSID "your-ssid" #define WIFI_PASSWORD "your-password" // Create a Firebase object Firebase firebase(FIREBASE_URL, FIREBASE_API_KEY); // Define a callback function for streaming events void streamCallback(FirebaseObject obj) // Get event type String event = obj.eventType(); Serial.print("Event: "); Serial.println(event); // Get path String path = obj.path(); Serial.print("Path: "); Serial.println(path); // Get data as String String data = obj.stringData(); Serial.print("Data: "); Serial.println(data); // Print a new line Serial.println(); void setup() // Initialize serial monitor Serial.begin(115200); // Connect to WiFi WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD); Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi"); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) Serial.print("."); delay(500); Serial.println(); Serial.println("Connected to WiFi"); // Stream data from Firebase Serial.println("Streaming data from Firebase"); bool result = firebase.stream("/test", streamCallback); if (result) Serial.println("Success"); else Serial.println("Failed"); void loop() // Do nothing
Example 5: Removing Data from Firebase
This example shows how to remove data from Firebase using the remove function. The function takes a path as a parameter, and returns a boolean value indicating if the operation was successful or not.
// Replace with your Firebase URL #define FIREBASE_URL " // Replace with your Firebase API key #define FIREBASE_API_KEY "your-api-key" // Replace with your WiFi network credentials #define WIFI_SSID "your-ssid" #define WIFI_PASSWORD "your-password" // Create a Firebase object Firebase firebase(FIREBASE_URL, FIREBASE_API_KEY); void setup() // Initialize serial monitor Serial.begin(115200); // Connect to WiFi WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD); Serial.print("Connecting to WiFi"); while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) Serial.print("."); delay(500); Serial.println(); Serial.println("Connected to WiFi"); // Remove data from Firebase Serial.println("Removing data from Firebase"); bool result = firebase.remove("/test"); if (result) Serial.println("Success"); else Serial.println("Failed"); void loop() // Do nothing
