Getting started with TMS FNC Cloud Google Firebase

Prerequisites

• TMS FNC Core installed and the runtime package added to the project.
• TMS FNC Cloud Pack installed.
• A Google Firebase project with a Realtime Database, and an OAuth 2.0 client (client ID and secret) created in the Google Cloud console.

Add the component

1. Drop TTMSFNCCloudGoogleFireBaseObjectDatabase onto a form or create it in code.
2. Set the OAuth credentials, the DatabaseName, and the TableName.
3. Define a model class that descends from TTMSFNCCloudGoogleFireBaseObject, register it with RegisterClass, then persist tokens and call Connect.

The minimal connect sequence — credentials, database/table target, token persistence, and an OnConnected handler that reads the stored objects:

procedure TForm1.SetupFireBase;
begin
  FDatabase := TTMSFNCCloudGoogleFireBaseObjectDatabase.Create(Self);

  // OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the Google Cloud console.
  FDatabase.Authentication.ClientID := '<your-client-id>.apps.googleusercontent.com';
  FDatabase.Authentication.Secret := '<your-client-secret>';
  FDatabase.Authentication.CallBackURL := 'http://127.0.0.1:8000';

  // Target Realtime Database and the node (table) objects are stored under.
  FDatabase.DatabaseName := '<your-firebase-database>';
  FDatabase.TableName := 'Contacts';

  // Persist tokens so the consent screen only appears on first run.
  FDatabase.PersistTokens.Location := plIniFile;
  FDatabase.PersistTokens.Key := TTMSFNCUtils.AddBackslash(TTMSFNCUtils.GetDocumentsPath)
    + FDatabase.ClassName + '.ini';
  FDatabase.LoadTokens;

  FDatabase.OnConnected := DatabaseConnected;
  FDatabase.Connect; // opens the browser for consent on first run, then fires OnConnected
end;

procedure TForm1.DatabaseConnected(Sender: TObject);
begin
  FDatabase.SaveTokens;
  // Safe to read or write objects now.
  FDatabase.ReadList(FObjects);
end;
