**RNFirebase** makes using [Firebase](http://firebase.com) with React Native simple.

### Install
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm i react-native-firebase --save
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
|
||
### Why
|
||
|
||
RNFirebase is a _light-weight_ layer sitting on-top of the native Firebase libraries for both iOS and Android which mirrors the Firebase Web SDK as closely as possible.
|
||
|
||
Although the [Firebase Web SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/firebase) library will work with React Native, it is mainly built for the web.
|
||
|
||
RNFirebase provides a JavaScript bridge to the native Firebase SDKs for both iOS and Android therefore Firebase will run on the native thread, allowing the rest of your app to run on the [JS thread](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/performance.html#javascript-frame-rate). The Firebase Web SDK also runs on the JS thread, therefore potentially affecting the frame rate causing jank with animations, touch events etc.
|
||
|
||
The native SDKs also allow us to hook into device sdk's which are not possible with the web SDK, for example crash reporting, offline realtime database support, analytics and more!
|
||
|
||
All in all, RNFirebase provides much faster performance (~2x) over the web SDK and provides device sdk's not found in the web sdk (see the feature table below).
