I am a Front-end developer with limited backend knowledge.
My question is do I need other backend frameworks like Django or Ruby on Rails if I use Firebase as a backend? In other words, can I solely depend on Firebase as a backend and build a single page web application or Mobile application without writing a single line of backend code?
Thanks for your time viewing the question.
I was also looking for a platform to minimize server code and I found that firebase can help a lot.
You will get plenty of docs on net. You can start at angular fire + firebase doc
https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/libraries/angular/quickstart.html
Following document was helpful for me to design my app, which requires some amount of off-line processing too.

It should be as simple as possible for the testers. Best case would be a link that they can click on that directly installs the app on iOS and Android devices (maybe through another app similar to testflight). As we're using Firebase in our application I looked at Firebase App distribution but it seems that it doesn't work with the managed workflow of Expo. We would need to eject our app to (possibly) make it work. As we have only a limited amount of time until the test I would like to avoid a lenghty evaluation process like the one testflight requires.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
Apps using Managed Workflow can be shared via Expo Go: https://docs.expo.dev/guides/sharing-preview-releases/
After some research I came across diawi.com which seems to offer what I'm searching for. It's really easy for the testers, they just have to scan a qr code or click on a link and the app actually appears as a standalone application.
I'm practicing HTML/CSS/JS using localhost as a browser start page and I'd like to display the next 24 hours of my events from my Google Calendar. However, it seems so far that a webserver (I used Python) needs to be running first. Is there a simple way to just read these events via JavaScript? Also, my calendar is not public. I've checked all the documentation I could find and haven't found any solution.
I'm still learning, so I appreciate any help/suggestions you can give. Thanks!
If you already have a python web server running for your application, you just have to authorize it to grab data on your behalf.
I recommend you go thru the Python Quickstart tutorial to learn how to authenticate and talk with the Google APIs.
Once you have that setup and running, you can then integrate those methods to your webserver logic.
This will depend on which library or framework you are using for your application.
Hope this helps!
I want to write a google cloud function that will respond to POST requests. I want to write it in Javascript.
I've found Google's tutorial on how to do it, but at the beginning of the tutorial it says that this is a deprecated thing, and I have to do it using Cloud Endpoints Frameworks for App Engine. However, the link they provide doesn't help.
Any ideas on how to write a javascript google cloud function?
Link to the tutorial that I've found:
https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/legacy/v1/python/getstarted/clients/js/add_javascript
The warning that's displayed at the beginning of the tutorial:
Cloud Endpoints Frameworks v1 has been deprecated and will be shut
down on August 2, 2018. We recommend that you use the latest version
of this feature, which is renamed to Cloud Endpoints Frameworks for
App Engine. This new version supports App Engine standard environment,
provides lower latency, and has better integration with App Engine.
For more details, see Migrating to 2.0.
The migration link points to https://cloud.google.com/endpoints/docs/frameworks/legacy/v1/python/migrating
There are two completely different things you're talking about here.
Google Cloud Functions is a serverless way to write functions in Javascript which respond to HTTP requests.
Google Cloud Endpoints Frameworks for App Engine is a way to write App Engine applications in Python or Java which respond to HTTP requests.
The first link you provide is about writing browser-side JavaScript code which calls an Endpoints service. The corresponding link for the Endpoints 2.0 product is here.
Depending on what you actually want to do, you should consult one or more of these links.
I have built an iphone app that writes data to firebase. That works fine. Now I want to display that data on a website. I am totally new to programming, and had to learn swift from scratch.
So my question is; is there a easy way to display the data on the webpage? It dont have to look good as long as the data is displayed. I'm not sure if I'm able to learn another codelanguage just yet ☺
To build a web site you'd use a combination of HTML (for the layout of the web site), CSS (for the actual look of the web site) and JavaScript (for the logic of the web site). JavaScript is indeed a different language, but a second language should be easier than your first one.
I recommend studying the Firebase Database documentation for JavaScript and taking the Firebase codelab for web. They are the best ways to get started with Firebase.
You may use the Firebase JS SDK
https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/start
use Nodejs to generate static HTML
or
use Express as the website framework, dynamically generate the pages
I have a Asp.net Application (forms). I want to add video chat feature using webrtc! this video chat application is working on node.js! how can i integrate this webrtc app to my asp.net application ?
Try WebSync, a realtime HTTP streaming (comet) server built for Microsoft stack (.net/iis) using the Bayeus protocol. Search "websync" part in this comment, for "just" an example!
You just need to download their samples; try a simple text-chat sample; and use it for signaling. Simple!
Note: Usually WebRTC developers use node.js for signaling purpose only; however a few people use it to keep sessions to detect presence of the users; if the app you referenced is using such kind of things; then WebSync is not easier because you've to change a lot many things on the server end. Then I'll suggest you try something like this. And obviously iisnode!
