Example project of stripe payments with firebase using Realtime Database?

[makinggainz]

Hello, I am looking for an example project like this one but using the Realtime Databse, instead of Firestore.

More specifically (If its possible):

• I'm looking for a project which makes stripe subscriptions payments work using firebase as the backend, and iOS on the front end.

Suggested Approach:

1. Database: Use Firebase Realtime Database instead of Firestore. It has similar features like querying and real-time updates but with a different API.

2. Stripe API: Use Stripe's Node.js SDK on a Cloud Function to handle payments.

3. iOS Frontend: Use Stripe's iOS SDK to gather card information securely.

Sample Cloud Function for Stripe:

const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
const stripe = require('stripe')(YOUR_STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);

admin.initializeApp();

exports.createStripeCharge = functions.https.onCall(async (data, context) => {
  // Authentication and data validation here
  
  const amount = data.amount;
  const currency = data.currency;
  
  // Create Stripe Charge
  const charge = await stripe.charges.create({
    amount,
    currency,
    // ... other charge details
  });
  
  // Record the charge in the Realtime Database
  const db = admin.database();
  const ref = db.ref('payments');
  return ref.push(charge);
});

In iOS:
Use Stripe's iOS SDK to send the payment token to the Cloud Function for actual charge.

This is just a high-level example. Let me know if you need further elaboration.
