A simple Firebase client REPL. Expects FIREBASE_URL and FIREBASE_AUTH_SECRET to be in your environment.

This should be installed globally.

npm install -g firebase-repl

Then type fbrepl to start.

firebase-repl adds a few bonus functions:

• root - a ref to the root of your Firebase.

• fp - a Fireproof ref to the root.

• Firebase#dump([depth]) - prints the current value of a ref to the console. depth tells util.inspect how deep to go into the object graph. Example:

    root.child('foo').dump();
  

• Firebase#count() - prints the number of keys present in the value.

• Firebase#has(key) - prints the child keys which have a grandchild named key.

• Firebase#compareKeys(jsonFile) - reads an array of keys from a JSON file on disk and prints the name of keys in Firebase that are not named in the array.

• $() - returns the value from the last dump() call.
