Firebase javascript promise in NodeJS

Question

I need to deploy a node.js server for some complicated business logic.

Is there any firebase library/module which allows me to use promises and not callbacks for the query and update/set methods?

I've found firebase-client, but it is based on REST. Am much prefer one based on the javascript API, if there is one out there?

Thanks.

In addition to fireproof, several promise libraries can promisify libraries. — Dave Newton

You can use the Bluebird promise library to automatically wrap an entire API in promises for you. — jfriend00

You're looking for Fireproof.

Fireproof wraps Firebase objects with lightweight promise support.

var Fireproof = require('fireproof'),
  Firebase = require('firebase');

var fb = new Firebase('https://test.firebaseio.com/thing'),
  fp = new Fireproof(fb);

fireproof.auth('my_auth_token').then(function() {
  fp.child('path/to/data').then(...);
}, function(err) {
  console.error('Error authenticating to Firebase!');
})
