Steps for Connecting a UI5 Web App with Google Firebase
To connect a UI5 web app with Google Firebase set up a Firebase project. Visit the Firebase console (console.firebase.google.com) and create a new project. Provide a name for your project and choose the desired Firebase services you want to use, such as Authentication, Realtime Database, Cloud Storage, and Hosting.
Step 01: Create an App in Firebase
Step 02: Create a new UI5 App, and add these firebase scripts within index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>firebaseApp</title>
<script id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
src="resources/sap-ui-core.js"
data-sap-ui-theme="sap_fiori_3"
data-sap-ui-resourceroots='{"firebaseApp.firebaseApp": "./"}'
data-sap-ui-compatVersion="edge"
data-sap-ui-oninit="module:sap/ui/core/ComponentSupport"
data-sap-ui-async="true"
data-sap-ui-frameOptions="trusted">
</script>
<!-- Firebase App (the core Firebase SDK) is always required and must be listed first -->
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.14.5/firebase-app.js"></script>
<!-- If you enabled Analytics in your project, add the Firebase SDK for Analytics -->
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.14.5/firebase-analytics.js"></script>
<!-- Add Firebase products that you want to use -->

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.14.5/firebase-database.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.23.0/firebase-storage.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/7.8.0/firebase-functions.js"></script>
</head>
<body class="sapUiBody">
<div data-sap-ui-component data-name="firebaseApp.firebaseApp" data-id="container" data-settings='{"id" : "firebaseApp"}'></div>
</body>
</html>
Step 03: Create a new file Firebase.js in js folder and given code:
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/model/json/JSONModel",
], function (JSONModel) {
"use strict";
return {
// Firebase-config retrieved from the Firebase-console
initializeFirebase: function () {
// Replace with your config here
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: "<your API Key>",
authDomain: "<your authDomain>",
projectId: "<your projectId>",
storageBucket: "<your storageBucket>",
messagingSenderId: "<your messagingSenderId>",
appId: "<your appId>",
measurementId: "<your measurementId>"
};
// Initialize Firebase with the Firebase-config
firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
// Create a Firestore reference
const firestore = firebase.firestore();
// Create a Authentication reference
const fireAuth = firebase.auth();
// Get Firebase Instance
const oFirestore = firebase.firestore;
// Create a Fire Storage reference
const fireStorage = firebase.storage();
// Create a Fire Functions reference
const fireFunctions = firebase.app().functions('asia-east2');
// Firebase services object
const oFirebase = {
firestore: firestore,
fireAuth: fireAuth,
oFirestore: oFirestore,
fireStorage: fireStorage,
fireFunctions: fireFunctions
};
// Create a Firebase model out of the oFirebase service object which contains all required Firebase services
var fbModel = new JSONModel(oFirebase);
// Return the Firebase Model
return fbModel;
}
};
});
Step 04: Set Firebase Model in component.js as shown below:
sap.ui.define([
"sap/ui/core/UIComponent",
"sap/ui/Device",
"Healthbridge-admin/Healthbridge-admin/model/models",
"Healthbridge-admin/Healthbridge-admin/js/Firebase"
], function (UIComponent, Device, models, Firebase) {
"use strict";
return UIComponent.extend("Healthbridge-admin.Healthbridge-admin.Component", {
metadata: {
manifest: "json"
},
/**
* The component is initialized by UI5 automatically during the startup of the app and calls the init method once.
* @public
* @override
*/
init: function () {
// call the base component's init function
UIComponent.prototype.init.apply(this, arguments);
// enable routing
this.getRouter().initialize();
// set the device model
this.setModel(models.createDeviceModel(), "device");
// set the app Config model
this.setModel(models.createAppConfigModel(), "AppConfig");
//set Firebase Model
this.setModel(Firebase.initializeFirebase(), "fbModel");
}
});
});
Step 05: Check if you can fetch Authentication details by using the below code in onInit or _handleRouteMatched or onAfterRendering
var fireAuth = this.getView().getModel("fbModel").getData().fireAuth;
console.log(fireAuth);
