Thank you all for the comments and feedback. Note that I have not worked with Firebase for more than a year, and as such the API may have changed, and this code may be out of date (probably is out of date). I honestly never expected that people would find this gist and use it - I just posted it for my own memory. I am not actively maintaining this code.
