An effort to bring the Firebase C++ API to Qt 5
QtFirebase aims to bring all the features of the Firebase C++ SDK to Qt 5 - both as C++ wrappers and as QML components.
Please bear in mind that the Firebase C++ SDK currently only supports the mobile platforms Android and iOS.
You can still build QtFirebase on other platforms as the project provides "empty shells" or placeholder components - they just return default/empty values when used. Because of this you won't see e.g. ads from AdMob in your desktop builds.
This is due to Google's own limitations in the Firebase C++ SDK implementation.
The following features have a working Qt 5 C++ and QML counterpart
| Feature | Library | C++ | QML | Credits |

Without these good people this project would not exist.

We recommend you build against the latest version of the Firebase C++ SDK.
The Firebase C++ SDK has a lot of stability issues - which QtFirebase does its best to work around by wrapping the API into more Qt/C++ friendly classes that prevent some of the bugs and crashes found so far. Please use the latest SDK version to get the latest fixes.
For a working and up-to-date example please follow the Quick start section found in the QtFirebaseExample README.
Please see SETUP.md for instructions on how to set up QtFirebase in your Qt Creator project.
Please look at the QtFirebaseExample repository. In SETUP.md you will find details on what to add to your project files (gradle.build, Info.plist, etc.).
