Welcome to the 'Authentication with Firebase' Codorial, using [React Native](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/) and [react-native-firebase](https://rnfirebase.io).
Over the Codorial we'll cover how to setup your application to require both email/password login and social login using Facebook,
This Codorial was created with React Native version `0.53.0`.
## Creating a base project
This project will take a bare bones React Native setup and explain every step required to implement a solid authentication flow in your application.
To start we need a base project to work from.
Both options below require you to setup a new Firebase project and add the configuration file to your project - check out the [documentation](https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v3.2.x/installation/initial-setup) on how to do that if needed.
### Option 1: Using `react-native init`
You can quickly create a base React Native project using `react-native init` by following the React Native [documentation](http://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html).
> Ensure you follow the "Building Projects with Native Code" tab, as the project won't work using Expo due to requiring native modules.
Once installed, you need to install the [react-native-firebase](https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v3.2.x/installation/initial-setup) library. Ensure you've
also installed the Authentication module on your platform ([Android](https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v3.2.x/auth/android) or [iOS](https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v3.2.x/auth/ios))!
### Option 2: Using [react-native-firebase-starter](https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase-starter)
A starter kit has been created to help you get up and running with minimal setup needed. If you're new to React Native this will be perfect starting point.
> Keep in mind every Firebase module is installed in this starter kit. You can refer to the react-native-firebase [documentation](https://rnfirebase.io/docs) if you want to remove
