Super simple live syncing for your Framer X Data objects

firebase-data's Issues

Empty array becomes null when synced to Firebase

const data = firebaseData({
    messages: []
})

function addToArray() {
    // this will error due to array not existing
    data.messages.push("Hey bob")
}

addToArray()

Too many concurrent connections to Firebase

Using FirebaseData locally while developing seems to lead to hitting 100 concurrent 'connections' even though only one session seems actively open.

Maybe there is some way to disconnect or re-use the same session? Can we store a sessionID of sorts in local storage and use database.goOffline() ? https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/js/firebase.database.Database.html#go-offline

expose the 'is initialised' boolean

would be nice to be able to detect when the data object has synced with firebase so the prototype can change accordingly

Edit: another thought on this is that it would no longer be a 1:1 swappable api with the data object if this were to be added. Might go against the core idea of the package.

A hack fix would be to set a initialized: false property locally on the data object in your prototype and have it set as true on firebase, essentially making it so once you are connected to firebase it reads true

Add unit tests

Could be worth the time to write some basic unit tests. Otherwise, we'll need to copy/paste this into Framer every time we make a change.
