Making a Simple Chat App
Let's blast off with a Firebase connected group chatting app! 🚀
Here's the final code from the end of the video:
.top-container{
height: calc(100% - 96px);
overflow:scroll;
}
.bottom-form{
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
display:block;
width:100%;
background-color:white;
button{
margin:0px !important;
}
}
// The following is the constructor function for this page's controller. See https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/controller
// You can include any angular dependencies as parameters for this function
// TIP: Access Route Parameters for your page via $stateParams.parameterName
function ($scope, $stateParams, $firebaseArray, $ionicUser) {
$scope.data = {
'message': ''
}
var ref = firebase.database().ref().child("messages");
// create a synchronized array
$scope.messages = $firebaseArray(ref);
// add new items to the array
// the message is automatically added to our Firebase database!
$scope.addMessage = function() {
$scope.messages.$add({
text: $scope.data.message,
email: $ionicUser.details.email,
name: $ionicUser.details.name
});
$scope.data.message = '';
};
}
