Queue and Tasks

[craigivy]

Do you plan on supporting firebase queues and tasks with this library? thanks

Would you link to the Firebase docs for these features, @craigivy? just so we know what you're referencing...

I'm guessing this is the official documentation - https://github.com/firebase/firebase-queue/blob/master/docs/guide.md. It is not discussed much within firebase.google.com but you read about it a lot in blogs. From my understanding its the only way you can run any type backend job using firebase so its a really a required feature for doing anything advanced in firebase. Of course I want to write the queue and create tasks in Dart :) instead of js.

Interesting, @craigivy –  I don't think this library uses any features of firebase – other than the database.

It seems like it's just built on top. I assume such a thing could be built on top of the Dart version, too. Although I'd argue it should be built separately from this repo.

@kevmoo, thanks for the replies and I agree. Maybe its just me but I see a lot of momentum with Dart at Google (flutter, fuchsia, angular dart, ...). I'm wondering if google also has plans to support firebase with it or if this is a one-off project?
