Support for Firestore emulator usage for Realtime Databases

[hakondh]

The FlutterFire docs describes how to connect to emulators for Firestore. Would be great to have something similar for the Realtime Database as well.

I was looking for information on this just yesterday, glad there's now an issue for it since I couldn't find any working solution.

Really need this feature. It will be very helpful in development. Please prioritize this.

Following code worked for me.

String host = Platform.isAndroid ? 'http://10.0.2.2:9000' : 'http://localhost:9000';
dbInstance= FirebaseDatabase(
    databaseURL: '$host?ns=YOUR_DATABASE_NAMESPACE',
);

Database namespace can be found in firebase emulator UI.
