This is the code for a tutorial series that can be found on progblog.io
In this tutorial we start with a blank app generated using Angular CLI. We use Firebase to make the next steps EASY. First, we use Firebase's authentication to add Google Login. We later extend that to also use email/password. We then use the Firebase Realtime Database to make a simple chat app. This project is my attempt to show how easy Firebase makes seemingly arduous tasks.
Part 1: Installing necessary components. Generating a blank app through Angular CLI. Add Bootstrap for styling. Create Firebase account. Install and setup Firebase through NPM.
The code for part 1 can be found here.
Part 2: Add user login through their Google account. Create the Login Page and Home Page Components. Add asynchronous monitoring of the logged in status. Redirect to the Home Page when logged in and to the Login Page when the user logs out.
The code for part 2 can be found here.
Part 3: We will add a simple chat app that stores messages into a Firebase Realtime Database.
The code for part 3 can be found here.
Part 4: We add Email/Password user authentication using Firebase.
The code for part 4 can be found here.
Part 5: COMING SOON Adding the ability for a user to edit or delete any messages that they have sent.
Run ng serve
for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/
. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run ng generate component component-name
to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class/module
.
Run ng build
to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/
directory. Use the -prod
flag for a production build.
Run ng test
to execute the unit tests via Karma.
Run ng e2e
to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve
.
Run ng github-pages:deploy
to deploy to Github Pages.
