@use-firebase/database NPM

@use-firebase/database

A custom React Hook that impliments Firebase's Database object.

$ npm i @use-firebase/database

$ yarn add @use-firebase/database

Currently only useValue for a single database ref is supported. Complete support is planned.

For now, here is a basic setup. This will likely change in the future.

const [value, setValue] = useValue(path);

Here are the parameters that you can use.

Parameter	Description
`path`	A string path to the value in Firebase.

useValue returns a useState compatible array that you can deconstruct into value and setValue.

Parameter	Description
`value`	The value from the Firebase database at `path`. If the path is invalid, or the data is not yet read from thje cloud, a `null` is returned.
`setValue`	A function that accepts a single patameter that is the data sent to Firebase. It returns a promise that resolves when the data is saved in the cloud. `value` will immediately reflect the new value from calling `setValue` (i.e. no round trip required to see a new `value`).
