Learn Firebase, Realm and Sequelize

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

🔥 Firebase provides several easy-to-use authentication methods that we can use to handle auth in React apps. 

In this lesson, we will cover how to authenticate a user via an email and password. This is done using `createUserWithEmailAndPassword` function available to us from the `firebase` library. 

You'll need firebase configured in your application which you can [read about here.](https://dev.to/farazamiruddin/react-firebase-add-firebase-to-a-react-app-4nc9)

Authenticate a User in React with Firebase

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

The Firebase Forge provides a convenient GUI for visualizing and manipulating your data in real-time. Be sure to check out [this lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-get-started-with-firebase-and-angularfire) for getting Firebase setup.

Updating Real-Time Data with Firebase Forge

When using Firebase collections in your AngularJS application, you have access to a handy set of events emitted by the collection when changes in your data occur. Be sure to check out the [first lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-get-started-with-firebase-and-angularfire) in this series for the project source code.

Firebase Event Handling

Sequelize is a promise-based ORM for Node.js and io.js. It supports the dialects PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQLite and MSSQL and features solid transaction support, relations, read replication and more.

sequelize

Sequelize attribute getters and setters are a convenient way to encapsulate extra logic for model properties. In this video, we'll cover adding getters and setters to enhance and even virtualize a column.

Sequelize: Getters, Setters and Virtual Columns

Firebase provides a real-time syncing backend for your AngularJS applications in very few lines of code. In this lesson, you'll learn how to get started integrating it into your app.

Get Started with Firebase and AngularFire

Data has relationships, and Firebase allows you to define those relationships in your AngularJS applications.

Firebase Data Relationships

Firebase has several ways to provide authentication for your AngularJS application. In this lesson, Lukas will look at the most basic email/password approach.

Firebase Basic Authentication Part 1

Realm is a mobile database that runs directly inside phones, tablets or wearables. This project hosts the JavaScript versions of Realm. Currently we only support React Native (both iOS & Android) and Node.js (on MacOS and Linux) but we are considering adding support for Cordova/PhoneGap/Ionic as well.

realm

Realm is an ACID compliant object database. In this lesson, you will learn how to install Realm, define schemas for your data, perform CRUD operations and persist your data to the filesystem.

Use Realm Object Database with Node.js

Models in the Node.js ORM, Sequelize, can be expanded with both class level and instance level functions. This video will show you how to extend your models to add helpers or business logic, and explain the methods execution scope.

Sequelize: Class & Instance Methods

React becomes incredibly powerful when coupled with a real-time backend like Firebase. See how easy it is to bring the two together and chat with Star Wars characters while you're at it.

React and Firebase with ReactFire

Javascript and database systems tend to be at odds with regard to how tables and columns should be named. Sequlize provides all the tools necessary to satisfy naming conventions in both your Node.js code and in your SQL database.

Sequelize: Model & Column Casing

Authenticating with Firebase creates a 24 hour session for the user. This allows you to fetch the current session for the user, as well as logout the user and destroy the session.
