Firebase PHP Backend
====================

[](#firebase-php-backend)

[![Supported PHP version](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/46057d3b90f000305f20f377a2c03e9b9f80247538c78c23b519209e5c783f9f/68747470733a2f2f696d672e736869656c64732e696f2f7374617469632f76313f6c6f676f3d706870266c6162656c3d504850266d6573736167653d253545372e3226636f6c6f723d373737626234)](https://github.com/mi5ha/firebase-php-backend)

Some Firebase functionalities require that you write a server application in order to use them.

This is very simple PHP application that exposes some useful API endpoints that you can use from your mobile or web app.

Overview
--------

[](#overview)

- For example, sending multiple Notifications from one device to several other devices can not be done without a server app.
- This app uses [Firebase Admin SKD for PHP](https://github.com/kreait/firebase-php) under the hood

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Minimal PHP version is v7.2
- Apache

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Create new project

[](#create-new-project)

```
composer create-project mi5ha/firebase-backend-api

```

### Configuration

[](#configuration)

- [Download service account key](https://console.firebase.google.com/project/_/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk) file from Firebase
    - Go to "Settings -> Service accounts"
    - First click "Create service account" then "Generate new private key"
- Put service key file somewhere outside document root
- Open `config/config.php`, and add the path to your service key relative to config file

Security Warning
----------------

[](#security-warning)

- Its important that your service account key, i.e. json file you downloaded from Firebase, is not accessible from the net
- If you accidentally put this file inside this project, there is .htaccess that should prevent user accessing it (Apache only)
- At the moment this application doesn't support any kind of API authentication

API
---

[](#api)

With all requests send this header:

```
Content-Type: application/json

```

### sendMulticastMessages

[](#sendmulticastmessages)

Send notifications from one device to multiple other devices.

**Example****POST request**

```
http:///?method=sendMulticastMessages

```

**JSON request body**

```
{
    "title": "I am Iron Man",
    "deviceTokens": [
        "fqORTS66YYQHKnpSsdf0QIKl:APA91bEggEnA-NDaSRvFtHsdd3UQLw3miPSw0jINjrgg0DdaRUP9u2DXBE6Veq2br9qsmDI5q2S-VnA1SvSmBnrOKMCxyuLzhh0EY2YXvQRqrDL5nf5FC8sjjLAgenLm-voggrtjAdlW",
        "f4fRp143affMgijGpVoj5I:APA91bGaaeqJ1IwtTmVvPVahdzeFbffvXizaL1u2iYGqWDhhht0aJuEFDt-qNHHHTgggUGfrM6qcrwKffFz7Sm-2PMsCFfkjjQjcNDbnn_tOcu9AF0OwGX21aaOpbXCUhhGyy4o5Zcr"
    ],
    "imageUrl": "https://i.insider.com/5b52400e51dfbe20008b45f9?width=750&format=jpeg&auto=webp"
}
```

**Success response**

```
{
  "success": true
}
```

**Error response**

```
{
  "success": false,
  "errorMessages": [
    "The registration token is not a valid FCM registration token",
    "The registration token is not a valid FCM registration token"
  ]
}
```

errorMessages is an array of specific error messages for each device token.

**You need to get device tokens to use this method**For example from [React Native Firebase](https://rnfirebase.io) you can get this token with [getToken()](https://rnfirebase.io/reference/messaging#getToken)

```
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';

let deviceToken = await messaging().getToken();

```
