Firebase Example

This is a simple set up for Firebase for client side applications.

The firebase app is initialized in firebase/clientApp.js, to use you just have to import it anywhere in the app

The React Context API is used to provide user state.

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel:

How to use

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example with-firebase with-firebase-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-firebase with-firebase-app

Configuration

1. Create a Firebase project and add a new app to it.
2. Create a .env.local file and copy the contents of .env.local.example into it:

cp .env.local.example .env.local

3. Set each variable on .env.local with your Firebase Configuration (found in "Project settings").

4. If you want to check the SSR page, get your account credentials from the Firebase console at Project settings > Service accounts, where you can click on Generate new private key and download the credentials as a json file. Then set FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL and FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY in .env.local

You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).
