React Native Firebase

Introduction

React Native Firebase is a light-weight javascript layer connecting you to the native Firebase SDKs for both iOS and Android which aimes to mirror the offical Firebase Web SDK as closely as possible.

Although the official Firebase JS SDK will work with React Native; it is mainly built for the web and has a limited feature-set compared to native.

Using the native Firebase SDKs with React Native Firebase allows you to consume device SDKs which don't exist on the Firebase JS SDK - for example; Remote Config, Performance Monitoring, Dynamic Links, Analytics and more (see the feature table below for comparison).

The Web SDK column indicates what modules/functionality from the Web SDK are usable within React Native.
