FirebaseESP8266 Library

The FirebaseESP8266 library is a versatile and lightweight Arduino library designed to facilitate seamless integration of ESP8266-based devices with Google Firebase Realtime Database. This library allows users to effortlessly send and receive data between their ESP8266 devices and the Firebase Realtime Database, enabling dynamic and real-time communication.

Getting Started

1. Installation: To use the FirebaseESP8266 library, include it in your Arduino IDE and import it into your sketch. Ensure that you have the required dependencies, such as FirebaseESP8266 and ESP8266WiFi.

   #include <FirebaseESP8266.h>
   #include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

2. Initialization: Create an instance of the FirebaseESP8266 class, specifying your Firebase Realtime Database URL during initialization.

   FirebaseESP8266 firebase("PASTE_FIREBASE_REFERENCE_URL");

3. Connection: Connect your ESP8266 device to a WiFi network using your SSID and password.

   WiFi.begin("SSID", "PASSWORD");

4. Data Interaction: Use the library's methods to send and receive data to and from the Firebase Realtime Database.

   firebase.setString("Fruits/Product", "Apple");
   firebase.getInt("Fruits/Code");

5. JSON Support: The library supports both JSON and non-JSON modes for data interaction. Toggle JSON mode as needed.

   firebase.json(true); // Enable JSON mode

6. Push Operations: Utilize push methods for appending data to arrays in Firebase.

   firebase.pushString("Updates", "Apple");

7. Data Retrieval: Retrieve data from Firebase using appropriate data types.

   String data1 = firebase.getString("Fruits/Product");

8. Delete Data: Delete data at a specified path in the Firebase Realtime Database.

   firebase.deleteData("Fruits");

Example Usage

See the provided example sketch (FirebaseESP8266Demo.ino) for a comprehensive demonstration of the library's features.
