Akita Angular Firebase

Simplify connection between Akita and Firebase inside an Angular project

Connect Firebase and Akita :

  • Firestore Collection
  • Firestore Document
  • Firestore Collection Group
  • Akita Array with Subcollections
  • Authentication
  • Real Time Database (beta)

Schematics :

  • ng generate collection-service
  • ng generate collection-guard

Compatibility

akita-ng-fire Angular Firebase AngularFire
7 12 9 ^7.0
6 9-12 8 ^6.1.5

Installation

Create an Angular project:

ng new project-name
cd project-name

Add @angular/fire:

ng add @angular/fire

Setup your environment with AngularFirestoreModule.

You can use the akita-cli to instantiate an akita store.

Setup your environment

Getting Started

In your component you can now start listening on Firebase :

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
    <ul>
      <li *ngFor="let movie of movies$ | async">{{ movie.title }}</li>
    </ul>
  `,
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  public movies$: Observable<Movie[]>;

  constructor(private service: MovieService, private query: MovieQuery) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    // Subscribe to the collection
    this.service.syncCollection().subscribe();
    // Get the list from the store
    this.movies$ = this.query.selectAll();
  }
}

The MovieService should looks like that :

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
@CollectionConfig({ path: 'movies' })
export class MovieService extends CollectionService<MovieState> {
  constructor(store: MovieStore) {
    super(store);
  }
}

⚠️: If you use Akita's router store, don't forget to import RouterModule.forRoot()

Collection

Documentation for Collection can be found here :

Authentication

Examples of what you can do with akita-ng-fire

Real time database

How to use the real time database service.

Document

You can subscribe to a specific document :

In Component :

ngOnInit() {
  this.router.params.pipe(
    switchMap(params => this.service.syncDoc({ id: params.id })),
    takeUntil(this.destroyed$)
  );
}

Or with the Guard :

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class MovieGuard extends CollectionGuard<Movie> {
  constructor(service: MovieService) {
    super(service);
  }

  // Override the default `sync` method
  protected sync(next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
    return this.service.syncDoc({ id: next.params.id });
  }
}

Akita array with subcollection

import {
  CollectionService,
  CollectionConfig,
  Query,
  syncQuery,
} from 'akita-ng-fire';

// A query that fetch all the articles with 5 comments
const articleQuery: Query<Article> = {
  path: 'articles',
  comments: (article: Article) => ({
    path: `articles/${article.id}/comments`,
    queryConstraints: [limit(5)]
  })
};

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
@CollectionConfig({ path: 'articles' })
export class MoviesService extends CollectionService<MoviesState> {
  // syncQuery needs to be bind to the service and takes a Query as second argument
  syncQuery = syncQuery.bind(this, articleQuery);
  constructor(store: MoviesStore) {
    super(store);
  }
}

Here we use bind() to link the syncQuery to the service. This design helps you to only import what you need.

To take advantage of types, add "strictBindCallApply": true inside your tsconfig.json file.

Now in Component:

ngOnInit() {
  this.service.syncQuery()
    .pipe(takeUntil(this.destroyed$))
    .subscribe();
}

Or in the Guard :

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
export class MovieGuard extends CollectionGuard<Movie> {
  // Note: Here service has to be protected to access syncQuery
  constructor(protected service: MovieService) {
    super(service);
  }

  // Override the default `sync` method
  protected sync(next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) {
    return this.service.syncQuery();
  }
}
