Connecting to two Firebase Apps

[danielfliegauf]

The Firebase Docs describe quite nicely how to connect to two different apps.

// Initialize the default app
firebase.initializeApp(defaultAppConfig);

// Initialize another app with a different config
var otherApp = firebase.initializeApp(otherAppConfig, "other");

console.log(firebase.app().name); // "[DEFAULT]"
console.log(otherApp.name); // "other"

// Use the shorthand notation to retrieve the default app's services
var defaultStorage = firebase.storage();
var defaultDatabase = firebase.database();

// Use the otherApp variable to retrieve the other app's services
var otherStorage = otherApp.storage();
var otherDatabase = otherApp.database();

I found on your GithubPages the following:
https://github.com/angular/angularfire2/blob/master/docs/1-install-and-setup.md#custom-firebaseapp-names

But how do i get a reference within ng2 to this two firebase-apps? Could you maybe update your documentation?

Thank you a lot and 👍 for all this awesome work!!

@danielfliegauf Not sure if I got your question, but are you asking how to connect to firebase from your angular2 App. Also, you're not following the issue template.

Hi Mukesh,
thanks for the quick reply.
I am using angularFire2 version beta0.7.

My Question is:
"How can I connect in an Angualar2 app to two different Firebase Apps/RealTimeDatabases using angularFire2?"

¯_(ツ)_/¯---------------------------------------------------------

This is probably not right, is it?

@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(firebaseConfig, authConfig, 'my-app-name'),
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(firebaseConfig2, authConfig2, 'my-app-name2')
],
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule {}

¯_(ツ)_/¯----------------------------------------------------------

It would be great if you could update your docs and show how to do it the right way. Thank you! :)

@danielfliegauf . How did you solve the issue? While there have been many answers given, somehow I am not getting it. I was also wondering if we have to add the initialize method twice. How did you go about solving the issue? Thanks.
