## What it is
re-base is a JavaScript library that simplifies binding Firebase Realtime Database data to React component state, inspired by Relay. It provides one-way and two-way data binding, listeners, and CRUD helpers so components can declare their own data dependencies.

## Use cases
- sync firebase data with react component state
- two-way data binding between react state and firebase
- listen to firebase endpoint changes in react components
- fetch and post data to firebase from react app
- replace flux with firebase in a react app

## When to choose
- building a legacy React app with the Firebase Realtime Database
- you want simple state-to-Firebase binding without Flux or Redux
- you prefer class components and mixin-free Firebase integration

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the library is unmaintained since 2018
- using Firebase Firestore instead of the Realtime Database
- using modern React hooks - prefer Firebase's official SDK or react-firebase-hooks

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: state-management, database-driver, sdk
- domain: web-development, frontend, databases
- platform: -
