API

`var firebaseDown = FirebaseDOWN(firebaseApp)``

Returns a constructor function that can be passed to levelup, implements the abstract-leveldown interface. firebaseApp should be an instance of firebase.app.App.

Call levelup with var db = levelup(location, {db: firebaseDown}) where location should be a string path to a key in a firebase database, e.g. /path/to/key. The leveldown database will be stored under this key.
