firebase-database Hello World! Hello World in IOS

Example

1. After you have set up Firebase to your IOS Project following the documentation for setting up firebase for IOS in other firebase related documentation you can get going with firebase.

2. If you haven't already added the database pod to your Podfile do so now by adding pod Firebase/Database in order to get Database functionality for Firebase

3. Push 'Hello World' to the database but first you have to go and edit the Rules for your database in the Dashboard of your app in firebase and change it to

    {
      "rules": {
        ".read": true,
        ".write": true
      }
    }
   

   NOTE: Make sure you change this beofre you go into production because this means anyone can read and write into your database which is a major security flaw

4. Now all you have to do is import Firebase into the file you are using firbase in using import Firebase write the following line and you should see a 'Test' node in the database, expand it and it should have a child of "Hello World"!!!!!!

FIRDatabase.database().reference().child("Test").setValue("Hello World")

CONGRATS ON YOUR FIRST DATABASE PUSH
