Anyways, this was the last piece of the Firebase puzzle for me. Between this, Authentication, Analytics, the DB (obviously) and Storage, Firebase has been indispensable in getting my side project app up and running -- and most importantly, feeling "real."
My only request at this point would be a bit more TLC given to how Firebase integrates with React Native. I'm sure it's coming as it's likely a "still-small-but-growing" subset of use cases. As an example, there's not an obvious way to say, get Twitter auth working in a React Native app (last I checked a few weeks ago.) There are workarounds, of course.
PS- The Firebase console and docs are some of the most slick and well-designed examples of what they do I've seen. I really enjoy the web console and the CLI tool. Just a real joy to use, and I'm not being sarcastic. :)
- digitalmaster 10y ago+1 For React native support! In fact emailed tech support about just yesterday. Got a really quick response in which they essentially said -- "....We're exploring potential solutions, but I can't share any details or timelines at this time." I'm optimistic. :)
- Andrex 10y agoThat's awesome! I might do the same thing in a bit. It's neat we can use the Web SDK with RN (in a limited capacity), but an official (or even semi-official) library would be the best.
