Firebase php
============

[](#firebase-php)

Php implementation of Firebase API.

Why
---

[](#why)

This package is built to be simple, scalable and configurable to allow easy integration in other packages or frameworks (ex: [laravel-firebase](https://github.com/plokko/laravel-firebase) ).

This package uses `google/auth` to generate OAuth2.0 tokens from the service account and `guzzlehttp/guzzle` as http library.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install it with composer via

`composer require plokko/firebase-php`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

All the calls on the API are made using a Firebase OAuth2.0 token, this token is generated using your ServiceAccount informations.

### Service Account

[](#service-account)

To use the API you need to authenticate the requests with your service account: this is done by the `ServiceAccount` class that uses your Firebase ServiceAccount json credential file. You can download your service account json file from the Firebase console in settings > service accounts, keep in mind to store this file in a secure non-public location.

```
use Plokko\Firebase\ServiceAccount;

//Use one of those methods:
$sa = new ServiceAccount('/path/to/your/serviceaccount/file.json');
$sa = new ServiceAccount('{"type":"service_account",..............}');
$sa = new ServiceAccount(['type'=>'service_account',/*...*/]);
```

Accepted methods for the constructor are:

- string: ServiceAccount file content (json string)
- string: path to the serviceAccount json file
- array: php-translated array of the service account content

You can also add a token cache handler via the `setCacheHandler` method that accepts an implementation of `CacheItemPoolInterface` to allow custom cache integrations.

see [google/auth MemoryCacheItemPool](https://github.com/google/google-auth-library-php/blob/master/src/Cache/MemoryCacheItemPool.php) for an example implementation:

```
$handler = new Google\Auth\Cache\MemoryCacheItemPool\MemoryCacheItemPool();
$sa->setCacheHandler($handler);
```
