Firebase Setup
The RNFirebase library is intended on making it easy to work with Firebase and provides a small native shim to the Firebase native code.
To add Firebase to your project, make sure to create a project in the Firebase console
Each platform uses a different setup method after creating the project.
iOS
See the ios setup guide.
Android
See the android setup guide.
Usage
After creating a Firebase project and installing the library, we can use it in our project by importing the library in our JavaScript:
import RNFirebase from 'react-native-firebase'
We need to tell the Firebase library we want to configure the project. RNFirebase provides a way to configure both the native and the JavaScript side of the project at the same time with a single command:
const firebase = RNFirebase.initializeApp({
// config options
});
Configuration Options
option | type | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
debug | bool | false | When set to true, RNFirebase will log messages to the console and fire debug events we can listen to in js |
persistence | bool | false | When set to true, database persistence will be enabled. |
For instance:
import RNFirebase from 'react-native-firebase';
const configurationOptions = {
debug: true
};
const firebase = RNFirebase.initializeApp(configurationOptions);
export default firebase;
