QtFirebase

An effort to bring the Firebase C++ API to Qt 5

QtFirebase aims to bring all the features of the Firebase C++ SDK to Qt 5 - both as C++ wrappers and as QML components.

Please bear in mind that the Firebase C++ SDK currently only supports the mobile platforms Android and iOS.

You can still build QtFirebase on other platforms as the project provides "empty shells" or placeholder components - they just return default/empty values when used. Because of this you won't see e.g. ads from AdMob in your desktop builds.

This is due to Google's own limitations in the Firebase C++ SDK implementation.

Stability

The Firebase C++ SDK has a lot of stability issues - which QtFirebase does its best to work around by wrapping the API into more Qt/C++ friendly classes that prevent some of the bugs and crashes found so far. Please use the latest SDK version to get the latest fixes.

Setup

For a working and up-to-date example please follow the Quick start section found in the QtFirebaseExample README.

Please see SETUP.md for instructions on how to set up QtFirebase in your Qt Creator project.

Examples
