FirebaseUI: Simplifying Mobile Development with Firebase

FirebaseUI is a library that provides common UI elements when building apps. This includes

• a basic Auth flow implementation on web, Android, and iOS
• bindings for ListViews, GridViews, and RecyclerViews in Android through custom Firebase Adapters
• bindings for UITableViews and UICollectionViews on iOS through custom Data Sources.

These views are populated with the appropriate child_added, child_changed, child_removed, and child_moved events as they occur at the Firebase reference with no additional developer overhead. Additionally, the Adapters and Data Sources can easily be subclassed to add additional functionality with little additional overhead.

FirebaseUI is built on top of Firebase for realtime data storage and synchronization. Sign up for a free account today!
