firebase-haskell-client

DEVELOPMENT

• an environment variable is needed called "FIREBASE_CONF". It points to a file where you have
  • as a first line your Firebase Secret key
  • as a second line your Firebase root URL complete with a trailing slash
• you need to add a JSON to your root as {"haskell":"awesome"} to pass the integration test note that "haskell" won't show with quotation marks in the Firebase online UI

Meeting 20160301:

• stack or cabal? stack
• sync or async? sync for now
• wreq or something more lightweight?
• what does it return? let's start with a string
• validate user input (for POSTs and such)

Possible modules:

• Auth
• REST operations
• JSON handling

Basic Use Case: The library user has

• auth information (probably wrapped inside a JSON Object)
• a URL
• a HTTP Operation that he wants to perform
• EITHER a JSON Object that he wants to insert / update
• OR an identifier or range of identifiers (in JSON format?) for Objects he wants to retrieve.

He expects as a result either

• An confirm message in case of an insert/update
• an error message
• the requested object(s) in JSON format

this is just a temporary line for testing my .gitignore
