#AskFirebase Questions of the Week:

[Lyreka]

I would love to get Firebase Analytics to work with my Ionic 2 Framework mobile app, but at this time I don't see a Cordova plugin or Javascript SDK. Is that something in the road map? #AskFirebase

[webophir]

Any chance to support react native? Current plug-ins from 3rd party not working well.

#askfirebase The Firebase website describes "earn" with AdMob, but AdMob only works with IOS and Android. What is the recommended way to earn for Progressive Web apps?

[duttaoindril]

#AskFirebase A lot of the features in firebase are Android and iOS only, and so it's kinda hard for a progressive app developer using Polymer to have those features like Analytics, RemoteConfig, Notifications (these two are must-haves IMO), Dynamic Links, FCM, AdMob. Will you guys roll out these features soon so I can use them in my Polymer website and Node.js server as easily as Android and iOS developers can, or do I have to do the plumbing myself?

#Askfirebase I'm using Firebase now. But I noticed that Analytics are not showing in real time (instantly). Are the stats available only after the end of the day? It is frustrating alittle. Any suggestion? For you info: I've installed my app on two different real phones and in the dashbord, it is showing me only 1 Monthly active users. why?

#AskFirebase How to authenticate FirebaseDatabase reference for secured read and write operations. It is not accepting AuthStateListener instance as It was done in older version (addAuthStateListener() is not available in newer version) of firebase.

[WaseefAkhtar]

I have a question that I've been wanting to get answered:

I'm working on a social network app using Firebase Realtime Database. I want to know how to make a rule such that a user can only see their own posts, and posts from their followings in the Feed; like Instagram or Snapchat.

I have a Friendships node where I set up connections between users, Posts node for all the posts, and Users node for all the users

And here's how I tried to define the rule that gives me 'permission denied':

"posts": {
".read": === true",
".write": "auth != null"
}

[FelipeMendesBraga]

#AskFirebase
How can I know the exact number of GBs stored in the realtime database and storage of my firebase project(in order to predict the amount I might require for an increasing userbase)?

[SoccerTutorialHD]

#AskFirebase
My question: Is it possible to create custom REST API's? (for single users of the webapp) I know its possible to add the .json, but I don't know if this is a good way to do that. THX

#AskFirebase, Love the channel, I have 3 questions..
1. How can I create a shallow search in Firebase Database on android app end to get the count of the specific node children without loading the complete data set under that node?
2. How can I use Firebase to do ajax calls, say to load drop down contents for a large data sets in android autocomplete text view with keystrokes..?
3. How to use Geofire to get dynamic data sets (node data)along with UID instead of using listeners on each node separately, which works but is time consuming and doesn't feel intuitive ?

P.S I am trying to build the complete app server client framework using just Firebase.

#Askfirebase I tried to add
compile when I ran my app I got an error:
Considering local module and remote module
Is it because google-services.jason given in Firebase does not have crash report?
