RobaseService

RobaseService is a RESTful API wrapper for Firebase Realtime Database - written in untyped Luau - for Roblox Developers seeking an external database service with a simple to use Luau wrapper.

As mentioned, RobaseService seeks to be simple to use, but this is one of two core aims of this project. The second aim is to be an easy replacement to DataStoreService. You can find useful code to help with replacing old DataStore code and transferring data here.

• Documentation has been added for querying your database, see here for the API Reference.

• Gave the API Reference page a makeover and changed the look of the "call-outs" (aka "caution", "tip", etc.) to fit better with the website theme.

• Github Release page now includes a .rbxm file for you to drop into your studio session. Documentation for this will be added soon.

• Updated the Roblox Model to current version.

• You no longer have to wrap your Robase method calls with a pcall this is done behind the scenes (see: HttpWrapper.lua on Github).

• Added proper error handling for ::GetAsync and ::SetAsync, this can be overridden if you know of Promise and have experience working with them you could use the ::Get and ::Set methods to alter generic behaviour of the functions.

• Donation page and links have been set up, see Donating for more.
