RxFirebase

Rx2Firebase

Rxjava 2.0 wrapper on Google's Android Firebase library.

This repository started as a personal usage of Nick Moskalenko RxFirebase library. You can check his work here.

Usage

Library provides set of static methods of classes:

• RxFirebaseAuth
• RxFirebaseUser
• RxFirebaseDatabase
• RxFirebaseStorage
• RxFirestore
• RxFirebaseFunctions

Authentication:

Sign in with email and password:

    RxFirebaseAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
                .map(authResult -> authResult.getUser() != null)
                .take(1)
                .subscribe(logged -> {
                    Log.i("Rxfirebase2", "User logged " + logged);
                });

Firestore:

You can observe values providing the Class of expected data like:

    DocumentReference document = firestore.collection("Users").document("UserId_1");
    RxFirestore.observeDocumentRef(document)
       .subscribe( userDoc -> {
          //Do something with my snapshot
       });

Get and set documents on a specific reference:

    DocumentReference document = firestore.collection("Users").document("UserId_1");
    User mynewUser = User("newUserName", 24);
    //Set data
    RxFirestore.setDocument(document, myNewUser).subscribe();
    //Get and map data
    RxFirestore.getDocument(document)
       .map( userDoc -> { return userDoc.toObject(User.class); })
       .subscribe( casterUser -> {
          //Do something with my already casted user
       });

Finally you can do sync operations on the database using runTransaction and if you wanna realize multiple operations at once, you should use the method atomicOperation which wraps the WriteBatch related methods from Firestore.

Database:

You can observe values providing the Class of expected data like:

    RxFirebaseDatabase.observeSingleValueEvent(getPostsRef().child("posts"), Post.class)
                .subscribe(post -> {
           //Do something with yourpost 
        });

or providing your own mapper between DataSnapshot and your data type:

    RxFirebaseDatabase.observeSingleValueEvent(getPostsRef().child("posts"),
                dataSnapshot -> {
                    // do your own mapping here
                    return new Author();
                })
                .subscribe(author -> {
                    // process author value
                });

There are some pre-defined mappers to make things easier:

Observing list values

    RxFirebaseDatabase.observeSingleValueEvent(getPostsRef().child("posts"), DataSnapshotMapper.listOf(PostComment.class))
                .subscribe(blogPost -> {
                    // process postcomment list item
                });

Observing map values

     RxFirebaseDatabase.observeSingleValueEvent(getPostsRef().child("posts"), DataSnapshotMapper.mapOf(PostComment.class))
                .subscribe(PostCommentAsMapItem -> {
                    // process blogPost as key-value pair
                });

Storage:

Download file from Firebase storage

    RxFirebaseStorage.getFile(getStorageRef(), targetFile)
                .subscribe(taskSnapshot -> {
                    Log.i("RxFirebaseSample", "transferred: " + snapshot.getBytesTransferred() + " bytes");
                }, throwable -> {
                    Log.e("RxFirebaseSample", throwable.toString());
            });

or download file as bytes array

    RxFirebaseStorage.getBytes(getStorageRef(), 1024 * 100)
                .subscribe(bytes -> {
                    Log.i("RxFirebaseSample", "downloaded: " + new String(bytes));
                }, throwable -> {
                    Log.e("RxFirebaseSample", throwable.toString());
            });

RxFirebaseQuery

RxFirebaseQuery is a builder class used to work together with methods from RxFirebaseDatabase that allow you to retrieve data from multiple databaseReferences. Doing this allow you to build and create dynamic queries to retrieve database objects from references retrieved from different tables easily. At the moment RxFirebaseQuery just allow the user to create the queries and retrieve the data. Filters should be done with the DatabaseReference items that you pass to the constructor. In other hand for update and delete data you should use Firebase method updateChildren()

	DatabaseReference reference = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();
		      DatabaseReference from = reference.child("tweets");
		      Query where = reference.child("users").child(userId).child("feedReferences");
		      RxFirebaseQuery.getInstance()
			    .filterByRefs(from, where)
			    .asList()
			    .subscribe(dataSnapshots -> {
			       Log.i("RxFirebase", "Retrieved a total of " + dataSnapshots.size() + " tweets");
			       for (DataSnapshot dataSnapshot : dataSnapshots) {
				  Tweet tweet = dataSnapshot.getValue(Tweet.class);
				  Log.i("RxFirebase", "New tweet for user feed: " + tweet.getDescription());
			       }
			    });

## RxJava and RxJava 2.0
One of the differences between RxJava and RxJava 2 is that RxJava 2 no longer accepts `null` values. Throwing a `NullPointerException` immediately. For this reason some of the methods of the library as been redesigned to return a `Completable` instead of a `Observable<Void>`. For example:

#### RxFirebase

```java
@NonNull
public static Observable<Void> updateEmail(@NonNull final FirebaseUser firebaseUser, @NonNull final String email) {
        return Observable.create(new Observable.OnSubscribe<Void>() {
            @Override
            public void call(final Subscriber<? super Void> subscriber) {
                RxHandler.assignOnTask(subscriber, firebaseUser.updateEmail(email));
            }
        });
}

Rx2Firebase

@NonNull
public static Completable updateEmail(@NonNull final FirebaseUser firebaseUser, @NonNull final String email) {
        return Completable.create(new CompletableOnSubscribe() {
            @Override
            public void subscribe(CompletableEmitter emitter) throws Exception {
                RxCompletableHandler.assignOnTask(emitter, firebaseUser.updateEmail(email));
            }
        });
}

RxCompletableHandler manages the CompletableEmitters in the same way that RxHandler manages the Subscriber. You can check all the differences between RxJava and RxJava 2.0 in the next Link
