⇒ cd firecall
⇒ python setup.py installℹ️ If a

Get started is easy:
# Import firecall
import firecall
# Create a firebase instance
my_firebase = firecall.Firebase("https://my-firebase.firebaseio.com")
# Now you are ready to use Firebase
# For example: (getting data from a Firebase)
def print_for_me(data):
print("Just got this data: " + data)
my_firebase.get(point="/" callback=print_for_me)- firebase#root()
- firebase#name()
- firebase#attr()
- firebase#parent()
- firebase#child()
- firebase#get()
- firebase#put()
- firebase#delete()
- firebase#export()
- firebase#onChange()
The methods above (from .get() downwards) are asynchronous. But if you wanted to use them synchronously, just appending _sync to the method name. E.g. .get_sync
Asynchronousity is at the heart of the Implementation.
Asynchronous methods allow passing a callback, an error handler or even a list of callbacks. Data from the Firebase is passed to the callbacks. Errors are also passed to the Error handler function.
Find more information on callbacks and errors using the Full documentation.
