Could you add .onSnapshot for Firestore and .on(‘value’) for Firebase database. The ability to have realtime updates is one of most important features of Firebase. It’s even called Firebase Real-time database, but currently the realtime can’t be used in retool. It would be good to have at least basic functionality working. Thank you.

Bump. This would be a very useful add on.

Hello @kakasimenator and @ayan! Sorry for letting this slip through the cracks. Question for you - looking at the Firebase docs, it seems like these are sort of event listeners - what your use case exactly in Retool? Right now we don’t support queries running in the background, so I’m not 100% sure how we’d support this.

Realtime updating UI is pretty much what we need here.
A really basic integration would be to at least be able to select a flag/checkbox that says “Automatically re-query if snapshot changes” and all you guys would have to do would be re-try the query if you receive a snapshot change from that query, or just replace the existing data with the new snapshot data.
