ember-cli-deploy-notify-firebase

An ember-cli-deploy plugin to update a path in Firebase on activation

This plugin updates a path in Firebase with the latest version information when the deploy is activated.

Why would I want to do that?

The main use-case is to display a notification to your users when a version changes so they can reload to get changes.
