Firebase via Meteor

firebase_bridge.js

// You have 3 choices
// 1st : npm way, you can use any npm after this (yeah!)
// Refer to : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10165978/how-do-we-or-can-we-use-node-modules-via-npm-with-meteor
// $ meteor add meteorhacks:npm

// 2nd : mrt way
// $ meteor add mrt:firebase

// 3rd : diy way
// refer to : https://gist.github.com/kenyee/6307258

// now add firebase_bridge.js to your_foo_app/server/firebase_bridge.js
// You will get ReferenceError: EJSON is not defined, you have 2 options here.
// 1st : use global package which can add via terminal in your app directory
// $ meteor add ejson
// 2nd : use private variable in your js
// var EJSON = Package.ejson.EJSON;

// if you use npm way, you will need this...
// var Firebase = Meteor.npmRequire("firebase");

var firebase = new Firebase('https://radiant-inferno-foo.firebaseio.com/');
firebase.on('child_added',   willLog);
firebase.on('child_changed', willLog);
firebase.on('child_removed', willLog);

function willLog(snapshot) {
    console.log(snapshot.key() + " : " + EJSON.stringify(snapshot.val()));
}

// when build with 'meteor' you will get
/*
