React Native Firebase Starter

This project was created with react-native init. I then converted it to using cocoapods and installed React Native Firebase v2 with yarn add react-native-firebase.

First Time Project Setup

Install project dependencies:

yarn
cd ios
pod install

For android, make sure you either open up android studio to have it generate a android/local.properties file or that you have your ANDROID_HOME environment variable set to the location of your android sdks.

Next, be sure to setup your iOS and Android google api keys (after setting up your firebase account / project) by following step 1 in each link. Both files should already be linked up in the projects - they just are not tracked by git.

• For iOS, copy in your GoogleService-Info.plist to the ios directory.
• For Android, copy in your google-services.json to the android/app directory.

Firebase database setup

This super simple example app expects you to have a root node in your database with a child of names which has a set of child nodes with random names for each value, like:

example-app -
  names -
    0 - joe
    1 - jane
    2 - john
    3 - ...
