Use firebase in your React App

Hi everyone, this is my first post. Feel free to comment any mistakes below.

So recently I've been creating my personal-portfolio site with reactjs. It has a section to showcase my projects,blogs...etc. And I needed to add any projects to that without updating the code. That's where I used firebase as a solution for this case.

So Firebase is a platform developed by Google for creating mobile and web applications. It was originally an independent company founded in 2011. In 2014, Google acquired the platform and it is now their flagship offering for app development.

So let's get started. I am using firebase V9 for this.

Step 1 (setting up a new react project)

First steps first setting up a react project. If you are new to react check out the React documentation to get started. React is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library for building user interfaces based on UI components. You can create a new react app by running the following code in your console.

npx create-react-app my-app
