Join the Firebase Google Group to ask technical questions, share apps you've built, and chat with other developers in the community. You can also find us in the Firebase Community Slack (look for the #ember room) or Stack Overflow.

WARNING: Master branch is the work in progress for version 3 of Emberfire. You can find version 2 here, if you're looking for documentation or to contribute to stable. Learn more about the rewrite effort here.

Why EmberFire?

• Offically supported - Maintained by the Firebase team
• Ember Data Adapters - Cloud Firestore and Realtime Database adapters for Ember Data allow you to persist your models in Firebase
• Ember Services - firebase and firebase-app services allow direct access to the underlying Firebase SDK instance
• Realtime Bindings - Listen for realtime updates to your Firebase backed Ember Data models using the provided realtime-listener service or the RealtimeRouteMixin
• Authentication Providers - Integrate Firebase Authentication with your Ember application easily with providers for Ember Simple Auth and Torii
• Offline Enabled - Persist Ember Data models offline automatically with FirestoreAdapter
• Fastboot Compatible - Perform initial rendering and fetching of your models server-side to increase application performance
