Request: Firebase Analytics Support

[thorgexyz]

I would like to add Firebase as a destination to Segment as per this documentation.

Seems like this has been in the making?

Maybe some others who would also like this can upvote the post.

Interested in this as well. I am curious how to add destinations and make them compatible to the flutter app. For example, how can I send push notifications (e.g. using Firebase FCM) based on the events tracked with Segment. Any help would be appreciated

@geoox to integrate push with Firebase, go to the Firebase SDK implementation and docs, it is not related to this library.

it's related btw, we need to integrate firebase sdk with segment.

@geoox you can use my branch if you need it here

Any updates on this one?

[ariefwijaya]

@Imgkl you can fork this plugin or use mine Firebae Integration, if you need it now.

@danielgomezrico maybe can merge @ariefwijaya implementation?
I was test this and works ok

[danielgomezrico]

@RicharC293 there are no PRs to merge, if you want you can use @ariefwijaya fork

[ariefwijaya]

I can create a PR for firebase analytics, but mine requires this PR #18
@RicharC293 @danielgomezrico

Then no becuase it can not be merged like that

@ariefwijaya, could you please introduce how you add configuration to Firebase as a destination for Segment on your fork? I wonder if it is necessary, for example, to add changes to build.gradle on your fork, or is it already configured? Second, how to invoke a configuration for a Segment so that Firebase is the destination?

[ariefwijaya]

@Mik77o You can see my fork to compare, but here are the things:

1. as you can see here, Firebase Analytics only support device mode integration, it means we don't have any chance to use server-side integration. So we don't need to add firebase as destination for our segment admin dashboard.

2. In my fork, I've added some required dependencies state on this documentation. The most important part is we need to register the integration like this:

Then, segment will automatically distribute the tracking data to firebase destination in device mode.

@danielgomezrico I just created a PR to solve this issue. Hope it helps everyone, it is currently working fine in our app. Let me know what else I need to do to merge this into the master branch.
