Comparison to react-native-firestack

[patrickdevivo]

Does anyone have a comparison of this package to react-native-firestack https://github.com/fullstackreact/react-native-firestack ?

I'm actually coming from react-native-firestack and switched after discovering some error when using child_added combined with child_removed/child_changed that, judging by the activity of that project, won't be fixed any time soon if ever.

I like projects that are active/alive.

Furthermore I didn't like that they changed the syntax to some degree and fcm didn't work at all, as well as fileDownload.

@DavidKuennen thanks for the info, I had a similar feeling / hunch and actually just ported a major project I'm building from react-native-firestack to react-native-firebase last night. Here's to this project staying maintained!

Well a few of us are using it in production apps so we'll need to keep it maintained :)

That's reassuring to read. 👍

How did people find the transition from react-native-firestack to react-native-firebase? We're looking to change to react-native-firebase and hoping the transition won't be too painful.

[Ehesp]

@joegoodall1 depends what you've got going really. Firestack has it's own method names and implementation, whereas we try our best to mimic the web SDK. In general, you should just be able to flip the names.

Generally your transition guide is to switch over your code to match the firebase Web SDK as @Ehesp said. You'll find anything that differs will be documented over at http://invertase.io/react-native-firebase/#/

RNFirebase also has a lot of additional functionality - it has transactions, full messaging implementation, analytics and so on

Thanks @Ehesp and @Salakar for the fast response.
