Expose extended Firebase instance created internally. Useful for integrations into external libraries such as redux-thunk and redux-observable.

The methods which are available are documented in firebaseInstance

Examples

redux-thunk integration

import { applyMiddleware, compose, createStore } from 'redux';
import thunk from 'redux-thunk';
import { getFirebase } from 'react-redux-firebase';
import makeRootReducer from './reducers';

const store = createStore(
  makeRootReducer(),
  initialState,
  compose(
    applyMiddleware([
      // Pass getFirebase function as extra argument
      thunk.withExtraArgument(getFirebase)
    ])
  )
);

// then later
export function addTodo(newTodo) {
  return (dispatch, getState, getFirebase) => {
    const firebase = getFirebase()
    firebase
      .push('todos', newTodo)
      .then(() => {
        dispatch({ type: 'SOME_ACTION' })
      })
  }
}
