How to post a value in Firebase using Vapor?

Question

I followed some tutorials with Vapor and despite that I understood how to Get or Put or Patch some JSON values on the server, I have no idea how to send dictionary to Firebase from within the app.

I've tried to write some data on Firebase using Postman and I have no problem, but I have no idea how to handle the parameters of the request using Vapor ?

Can anyone, please, tell me where I have to put the URL of the database and how to make the request? Or even better, if there's some example on GitHub, I can look at?

There is no Firebase SDK for Server-Side-Swift so you can handle JSON values using REST API of Firebase.

See this topic.

You need to create JWT token in order to get access to Firebase Database. That's the hardest part.

let drop = Droplet()
func readUsersNodeInFb()  {

    let customer = userStripeIdCustomer
    do {
        let responseFirebase = try drop.client.get(
            "https://bev-708.firebaseio.com/Users/\(usersUID!)/\(customer!)/\(bookingNumber!).json", headers: ["Authorization":"Bearer \(TokenData.acessTokenReceived!)"], query: [:],
            body: " a JSON Object")


        responseFirebaseAssigned = responseFirebase
    } catch let error {

        let errorString = "error line 115 in ClaimBookingCleaner received when trying to update  Firebase, \(error.localizedDescription)"
        errorFirebaseReceived = errorString
        return
    }


    //response from Firebase
    let bodyReceived = responseFirebaseAssigned?.body.bytes

    do {
        let jsonFire = try JSON(bytes:bodyReceived!)
         JsonFirebase = jsonFire
         print("jsonFire is \(jsonFire)")
    } catch let error {

        let errorString = "jsonFire could not be built with the payload received from server, line 55 in ClaimBookingCleaner error \(String(describing: error.localizedDescription))"
        errorFirebaseReceived = errorString
        return
    }

pretty useless since your code misses EVERYTHING. what is drop, what is responseFirebaseAssigned, what is xy... – David Seek Oct 24 '17 at 04:39
`let drop = Droplet()` A Droplet is the heart of a Vapor server. It contains a plethora of functions that will be the backbone of our server. – bibscy Oct 25 '17 at 07:16
Okay well. I have been able to do pretty much everything. The only thing I have not been able to figure out is how to create a token – David Seek Oct 25 '17 at 14:26
