EmberFire (Firebase + Ember Data)
EmberFire is the officially supported adapter for using
Firebase with
Ember Data.
The FirebaseAdapter
provides all of the standard DS.Adapter
methods and will automatically synchronize the store with Firebase. EmberFire is packaged as an addon with Ember CLI by default, and is also available to use without the CLI. See below for instructions on getting started, and check out the full EmberFire documentation on the Firebase website. EmberFire works with Ember Data beta.11 through beta.14.1 (and beta.15 but with deprecation warnings).

Installing EmberFire with the Ember CLI
To install EmberFire as an addon with your Ember CLI app, run the following command within your app's directory:
$ ember install:addon emberfire
This will add Firebase as a dependency in your bower.json
file, create app/adapters/application.js
and add configuration to config/environment.js
. Now, update your firebase url in config/environment.js
:
module.exports = function(environment) {
var ENV = {
modulePrefix: 'firebase-app',
environment: environment,
firebase: 'https://YOUR-FIREBASE-NAME.firebaseio.com/',
baseURL: '/',
...
Your Firebase data will now be synced with the Ember Data store. For detailed EmberFire documentation, check out the quickstart or guide in the Firebase docs.
Using EmberFire Without Ember CLI
EmberFire also works without ember-cli. See the Firebase documentation for instructions on getting started.
