Firebase with Expo (Native & Web)

This app shows how to use Firebase with Expo on both native and web. It's a companion project for my blog and YouTube tutorials regarding firebase. Each chapter follows a lecture, and I'll update it as I release new content. I have ideas for future chapters, but I'm open to suggestions. Let me know what you'd like to see.

Get started

• Get Firebase config

  • Go to the Firebase Console
  • Create a new project
  • Add a web/android/ios app
  • Copy the config object - for Android it's google-services.json, for iOS it's GoogleService-Info.plist.
  • Web related firebase config should be configured through environment variables, in the .env file.

• Install dependencies

   npm install

• Start the app

    npm run android # or npm run ios

Chapters

If you're interested in a particular tutorial, I'd suggest selecting into a tagged commit, chapters below. As I add new chapters, I refactor and sometimes something older might not work, like react native web if I forget to polyfill it. If you notice anything buggy, please report in Issues

About Expo Go

In my earlier articles, I did support Expo Go, but I decided to remove it. Personally, I don't use it, I use either native builds or bundled development client builds. Expo Go doesn't support native modules, so I don't see the point in using it.
