FireCMS has been meticulously built to make it extremely easy for developers to
build a CMS/admin tool. At the same time it offers the best data editing
experience and has an extremely thoughtful UX designed to make it super easy to
use, for marketers and content managers.
🏓 Awesome spreadsheet view
We have developed a super performant windowed spreadsheet view for
collections, where you can do inline editing on most of the common fields, and
have a popup view in the rest of the cases and your custom field
implementations.
It has real-time support, making it suitable for apps that need to be always
updated.
It also supports text search (through an external provider such as Algolia,
if you are using Firestore), as well as filtering and sorting and
exporting data
When editing an entity, FireCMS offers a nested system of side dialogs that
allow to navigate through subcollections and access custom views (such as a
custom form, or a blog preview). This functionality can be also accessed
programmatically though the hook useSideEntityController.
FireCMS includes more than 15 built-in fields with hundreds of customization
and validation options. The components have been meticulously crafted for a
great user experience, and we include advanced features such as references
to other collections, markdown or arrays reordering.
If your use case is not supported, you can build your own custom field, just
as any other React component.
It also supports conditional fields in forms, allowing for declaring rules
of what fields are active , based on your own logic.
👮 Authentication, permissions and role system
You will be able to define which navigation views can a user see, and the
operations (create, edit, delete) that can be executed on them, based on your
role system. You can even define this configuration on a per-entity or
collection level.
By default, all the authorization mechanisms of Firebase are supported, but you
are free to implement your own.
🏹 Relational support
You can define references to entities in other collections, and benefit from the
integrated reference fields and shortcuts included.
It is also possible to define subcollections at the entity level, so you can
nest data in a collection/document/collection model
🆒 Real time data
Every view in the CMS has real time data support. This makes
it suitable for displaying data that needs to be always updated.
Forms also support this feature, any modified value in the database will be
updated in any currently open form view, as long as it has not been touched by
the user. This allows for advanced cases where you trigger a Cloud
Function after saving an entity that modifies some values, and you want to get
real time updates.
🗂️ Files storage
FireCMS supports uploading files to Firebase Storage out of the box, and
provides specific fields for handling single and multiple file uploads, also
allowing for reordering.
You can change the Firebase Storage implementation with your own.
🙌 Your logic
You can add your custom logic or validation in multiple points of the user flow.
There are built-in hooks onPreSave, onSaveSuccess, onSaveFailure,
onPreDelete and onDelete.
FireCMS has a good separation of concerns. All the logic related to
Firebase/Firestore is abstracted away behind 3 interfaces: DataSource,
StorageSource and AuthController. This means you can extend or even completely
replace those 3 implementations with your own.
