Flutter firebase realtime database in web

I'm trying to get my flutter app working in the browser and it depends on firebase_database. There is not really any documentation for how to do this, but I'm making some assumptions based off the firebase_core and firebase_auth documentations:

https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/tree/master/packages/firebase_core/firebase_core_web
https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/tree/master/packages/firebase_auth/firebase_auth_web

My app is working on iOS and android, but I'm having trouble getting the database working in flutter web.

I've set up my index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Flutter WebRTC Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
    <script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.6.1/firebase-app.js"></script>
    <script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.6.1/firebase-database.js"></script>
    <script>
        const firebaseConfig = {
            apiKey: '...',
            authDomain: '...',
            databaseURL: '...',
            projectId: '...',
            storageBucket: '...',
            messagingSenderId: '...',
            appId: '...'
        };
        firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
    </script>
    <script src="main.dart.js" type="application/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

But, when I try to use the firebase database, I get errors in the logs:

MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method DatabaseReference#set on channel plugins.flutter.io/firebase_database)

Is there any way I can get the realtime database working in my flutter app on the web?

回答1:

In the main README in the flutterfire github, there is a "Web?" column that to note which plugins are ready for web.

Currently, only firebase_core, firebase_auth, cloud_firestore, and firebase_functions are supported in flutter web apps. firebase_storage is the next plugin on the roadmap, but not yet supported.

As @Frank van Puffelen mentioned, to use the full functionality of firebase in flutter web, use the firebase-dart wrapper library.

There is also a Flutter Web Plugins Project Board that shows which flutter plugins are on the roadmap, and what stage of development they are at.

The FlutterFire plugins only work in native mobile apps for iOS and Android. To use Firebase in Flutter for the web, use the firebase-dart plugin.
