expo-firebase-starter 🔥

Is a quicker way to start with Expo + Firebase projects. It includes:

based on Expo SDK 39.x.x
navigation using react-navigation 5.x.x
Firebase as backend for email auth
custom and reusable form components
handles different field types in forms
handles server errors using Formik
Login/Signup form built using Formik & yup
show/hide Password Field's visibility 👁
uses Context API & checks user's auth state
implement Password Reset Screen
all components are now functional components and use React Hooks

Installation

Create a new project using the firebase starter template.

$ npx create-react-native-app --template https://github.com/expo-community/expo-firebase-starter

Rename the file example.firebaseConfig.js to firebaseConfig.js
Update firebaseConfig.js with your own configuration, e.g.:

// Rename this file to "firebaseConfig.js" before use
// Replace all Xs with real Firebase API keys

export default {
  apiKey: 'XXXX',
  authDomain: 'XXXX',
  databaseURL: 'XXXX',
  projectId: 'XXXX',
  storageBucket: 'XXXX',
  messagingSenderId: 'XXXX',
  appId: 'XXXX'
};

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Expo uses Firebase Web SDK and does not support all Firebase services such as phone auth. If you are looking forward to use those services, please use react-native-firebase in a vanilla react native app.

Here is more on what and why Expo cannot support complete Firebase integration
