Flutter - Firebase Realtime Database CRUD

Firebase Realtime Database

- A cloud-hosted database that helps us to store and sync data with NoSQL
database in realtime to every connected client platforms like Android, iOS,
and Web.
- Firebase store all the data in JSON format and any changes in data reflects
immediately by performing a sync operation across all the platforms.
- Allows us to build a flexible realtime app easily with minimal efforts.

Firebase Realtime Database feature

- Realtime: – It means the data is synchronized with all connected devices
within milliseconds of changes being made to the data.
- Offline: - The Firebase Realtime Database persists data on your device. The
data is always available, even app offline. The data is automatically synced
once the app comes back online.
- Security: – You can define your security rules which controls who has what
access to your Firebase database. You can also integrate Firebase
Authentication to control access to your data.

How data store on Firebase cloud?

{
"counter" : 2,
"user" : {
"-LyUGMcrDrlTBOeumtgJ" : {
"email" : "elte.dev@gmail.com",
"hp" : "083833838884",
"nama" : "ilham",
"usia" : "29"
},
"-LyUJbPOGxThn7YrPvva" : {
"email" : "faizuddin95@gmail.com",
"hp" : "081234738292",
"nama" : "faiz",
"usia" : "25"
}
}
}

How can enable offline persistence in Flutter?

Firebase provides great support when your application in offline mode. It
automatically stores the data offline when there is no internet connection. When the
device connects to the internet, all the data will be pushed to the realtime database
 FirebaseDatabase database = new FirebaseDatabase();
database.setPersistenceEnabled(true);
database.setPersistenceCacheSizeBytes(10000000);
Contoh implementasi
1. Buat project baru Flutter.

2. Pilih Flutter Application.

3. Sesuaikan konfigurasinya

4. Konfigurasi nama package

5. Masuk ke https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/
6. Add project.
7. Buat nama project-nya, UMC-NamaAnda, misal : UMC-elte

8. Centang Google Analytics

9. Pilih Default Account

10. Buat database baru.

11. Pilih production mode

12. Pilih nam5(US).

13. Pilih realtime database

14. Pilih import json

15. Simpan json berikut dengan nama test-firebase data.json.

{
"counter" : 2,
"user" : {
"-LyUGMcrDrlTBOeumtgJ" : {
"nama" : "ilham"
},
"-LyUJbPOGxThn7YrPvva" : {
"nama" : "faiz"
}
}
}

16. Pilih file data.json

17. Berhasil import data.

18. Ubah rules-nya, read dan write menjadi true.

19. Pilih project settings

20. Pada tab general, buat project android.

21. Masukkan nama package

22. Download google-services.json
23. Copy file google-services.json ke dalam folder app

24. Copy classpath ke build.gradle

25. Copy plugin goolgle-services ke app-build.gradle
26. Tambahkan package firebase_database: ^3.1.1 pada Flutter dependencies

27. Buat kelas Mahasiswa (mahasiswa.dart)

import 'package:firebase_database/firebase_database.dart';

class Mahasiswa {

String _id;
String _nama;

Mahasiswa(this._id,this._nama);

String get nama => _nama;

String get id => _id;

Mahasiswa.fromSnapshot(DataSnapshot snapshot) {
_id = snapshot.key;
_nama = snapshot.value['nama'];
}
}

28. Buat kelas DatabaseCrud (database_crud.dart)

 a. Buat variabel dan object baru dari firebase database
class DatabaseCrud {

//A Firebase reference represents a particular location in your Database

and
// can be used for reading or writing data to that Database location.
//This class is the starting point for all Database operations.
// After you've initialized it with a URL, you can use it to read data,
write data, and to create new DatabaseReferences.
DatabaseReference _counterRef;
DatabaseReference _userRef;

//The subscription provides events to the listener, and holds the

callbacks used to handle the events.
// The subscription can also be used to unsubscribe from the events, or to
temporarily pause the events from the stream.
StreamSubscription<Event> _counterSubscription;
StreamSubscription<Event> _messagesSubscription;

//The entry point for accessing a Firebase Database.

// You can get an instance by calling getInstance().
// To access a location in the database and read or write data, use
getReference()
FirebaseDatabase database = new FirebaseDatabase();

//increment variable x+=1

int _counter;

//Instances of DatabaseError are passed to callbacks when an operation

failed.
// They contain a description of the specific error that occurred.
DatabaseError error;

//create new instance based on its own class

static final DatabaseCrud _instance = new DatabaseCrud.internal();

DatabaseCrud.internal();

//A factory interface that also reports the type of the created objects.
//class contstructor
factory DatabaseCrud() {
return _instance;
}

//initState

b. Inistate
void initState() {

//get database ref with child = counter

//method 1 - Demonstrates configuring to the database using a file
_counterRef = FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child('counter');

//get database ref with child = user

//method 2 - Demonstrates configuring the database directly
_userRef = database.reference().child('user');

//print value of key = counter

database.reference().child('counter').once().then((DataSnapshot snapshot)
{
print('Connected to second database and read ${snapshot.value}');
});
 //allow firebase to save data locally
//automatically stores the data offline when there is no internet
connection.
// When the device connects to the internet, all the data will be pushed
to the realtime database
database.setPersistenceEnabled(true);
database.setPersistenceCacheSizeBytes(10000000);
_counterRef.keepSynced(true);
_counterSubscription = _counterRef.onValue.listen((Event event) {
error = null;
_counter = event.snapshot.value ?? 0;
}, onError: (Object o) {
error = o;
});
}

//getError
//getCounter
//getAllUser
//dispose

c. Get Function
//getError
DatabaseError getError() {
return error;
}

//getCounter
int getCounter() {
return _counter;
}

//getAllUser
DatabaseReference getUser() {
return _userRef;
}

//dispose
void dispose() {
_messagesSubscription.cancel();
_counterSubscription.cancel();
}

d. deleteUser
void deleteUser(Mahasiswa user) async {
await _userRef.child(user.id).remove().then((_) {
print('Transaction committed.');
});
}

e. addUser
//addUser
addUser(Mahasiswa user) async {
final TransactionResult transactionResult =
await _counterRef.runTransaction((MutableData mutableData) async {
mutableData.value = (mutableData.value ?? 0) + 1;

return mutableData;
});

if (transactionResult.committed) {
_userRef.push().set(<String, String>{
 "nama": "" + user.nama
}).then((_) {
print('Transaction committed.');
});
} else {
print('Transaction not committed.');
if (transactionResult.error != null) {
print(transactionResult.error.message);
}
}
}

f. updateUser
//updateUser
void updateUser(Mahasiswa user) async {
await _userRef.child(user.id).update({
"nama": "" + user.nama
}).then((_) {
print('Transaction committed.');
});
}
