Only MockFirebase methods are included here. For details on normal Firebase API methods, consult the Firebase Web API documentation.
Core methods of MockFirebase references for manipulating data and asynchronous behavior.
Flushes the queue of deferred data and authentication operations. If a delay is passed, the flush operation will be triggered after the specified number of milliseconds.
In MockFirebase, data operations can be executed synchronously. When calling any Firebase API method that reads or writes data (e.g. set(data) or on('value')), MockFirebase will queue the operation. You can call multiple data methods in a row before flushing. MockFirebase will execute them in the order they were called when flush is called.
flush will throw an exception if the queue of deferred operations is empty.
Example:
ref.set({
foo: 'bar'
});
console.assert(ref.getData() === null, 'ref does not have data');
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getData().foo === 'bar', 'ref has data');Configures the Firebase reference to automatically flush data and authentication operations when run. If no arguments or true are passed, the operations will be flushed immediately (synchronously). If a delay is provided, the operations will be flushed after the specified number of milliseconds. If false is provided, autoFlush will be disabled.
Normally all child paths inherit the event queue from their parent reference. Calling ref.flush on a reference with listeners at child paths would normally fire all listeners and persist pending data changes. You can override this behavior by calling splitQueue on a path to detach the queue from the parent. You should call this before adding listeners or changing data.
After calling splitQueue, joinQueue will restore the normal behavior and reconnect the child flush queue to the parent. Any existing queued events on the child will be lost.
When method is next invoked, trigger the onComplete callback with the specified err. This is useful for simulating validation, authorization, or any other errors. The callback will be triggered with the next flush.
err must be a proper Error object and not a string or any other primitive.
Example:
var error = new Error('Oh no!');
ref.failNext('set', error);
var err;
ref.set('data', function onComplete (_err_) {
err = _err_;
});
console.assert(typeof err === 'undefined', 'no err');
ref.flush();
console.assert(err === error, 'err passed to callback');Simulate a security error by cancelling listeners (callbacks registered with on) at the path with the specified err. If an optional event, callback, and context are provided, only listeners that match will be cancelled. forceCancel will also invoke off for the matched listeners so they will be no longer notified of any future changes. Cancellation is triggered immediately and not with a flush call.
Example:
var error = new Error();
function onValue (snapshot) {}
function onCancel (_err_) {
err = _err_;
}
ref.on('value', onValue, onCancel);
ref.flush();
ref.forceCancel(error, 'value', onValue);
console.assert(err === error, 'err passed to onCancel');Returns a copy of the data as it exists at the time. Any writes must be triggered with flush before getData will reflect their results.
Returns an array of the keys at the path as they are ordered in Firebase.
Triggers a fake event that is not connected to an actual change to Firebase data. A child key is required unless the event is a 'value' event.
Example:
var snapshot;
function onValue (_snapshot_) {
snapshot = _snapshot_;
}
ref.on('value', onValue);
ref.set({
foo: 'bar';
});
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getData().foo === 'bar', 'data has foo');
ref.fakeEvent('value', undefined, null);
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getData() === null, 'data is null');Returns a list of all the event objects queued to be run the next time ref.flush is invoked.
These items can be manipulated manually by calling event.run or event.cancel. Each contains
a sourceMethod and sourceArguments attribute that can be used to identify specific
calls to a MockFirebase method.
This is a copy of the internal array and represents the state of the flush queue at the time getFlushQueue is called.
Example:
// create some child_added events
var ref = new MockFirebase('OutOfOrderFlushEvents://');
var child1 = ref.push('foo');
var child2 = ref.push('bar');
var child3 = ref.push('baz');
var events = ref.getFlushQueue();
var flushData1 = flushQueue1.sourceData;
console.assert(flushData1.ref === child2, 'first event is for child1');
console.assert(flushData1.method, 'first event is a push');
console.assert(flushData1.args[0], 'push was called with "bar"');
ref.on('child_added', function(snap, prevChild) {
console.log('added ' + snap.val() + ' after ' + prevChild);
});
// cancel the second push so it never triggers a event
flushQueue[1].cancel();
// trigger the third push before the first
flushQueue[2].run(); // added baz after bar
// now flush the remainder of the queue normally
ref.flush(); // added foo after nullAuthentication methods for simulating changes to the auth state of a Firebase reference.
Changes the active authentication credentials to the authData object. Before changing the authentication state, changeAuthState checks whether the authData object is deeply equal to the current authentication data. onAuth listeners will only be triggered if the data is not deeply equal. To simulate no user being authenticated, pass null for authData. This operation is queued until the next flush.
authData should adhere to the documented schema.
Example:
ref.changeAuthState({
uid: 'theUid',
provider: 'github',
token: 'theToken',
expires: Math.floor(new Date() / 1000) + 24 * 60 * 60, // expire in 24 hours
auth: {
myAuthProperty: true
}
});
ref.flush();
console.assert(ref.getAuth().auth.myAuthProperty, 'authData has custom property');Finds a user previously created with createUser. If no user was created with the specified email, null is returned instead.
