WARNING: Master branch is the work in progress for version 3 of Emberfire. You can find version 2 here, if you're looking for documentation or to contribute to stable. Learn more about the rewrite effort here.


Why EmberFire?

  • Offically supported - Maintained by the Firebase team
  • Ember Data Adapters - Cloud Firestore and Realtime Database adapters for Ember Data allow you to persist your models in Firebase
  • Ember Services - firebase and firebase-app services allow direct access to the underlying Firebase SDK instance
  • Realtime Bindings - Listen for realtime updates to your Firebase backed Ember Data models using the provided realtime-listener service or the RealtimeRouteMixin
  • Authentication Providers - Integrate Firebase Authentication with your Ember application easily with providers for Ember Simple Auth and Torii
  • Analytics Collection - The AnalyticsRouteMixin adds Google Analytics screen tracking to your Ember Router.
  • Offline Enabled - Persist Ember Data models offline automatically with FirestoreAdapter
  • Fastboot Compatible - Perform initial rendering and fetching of your models server-side to increase application performance
