▶Book Description
ReactJS is a wonderful framework for UI development. Firebase as a backend with React is a great choice as it is easy, powerful, and provides great developer experience. It removes a lot of boilerplate code from your app and allows you to focus on your app to get it out quickly to users. Firebase with React is also a good choice for Most Viable Product (MVP) development.
This book provides more practical insights rather than just theoretical concepts and includes basic to advanced examples – from hello world to a real-time seat booking app and Helpdesk application
This book will cover the essentials of Firebase and React.js and will take you on a fast-paced journey through building real-time applications with Firebase features such as Cloud Storage, Cloud Function, Hosting and the Realtime Database. We will learn how to secure our application by using Firebase authentication and database security rules. We will leverage the power of Redux to organize data in the front-end, since Redux attempts to make state mutations predictable by imposing certain restrictions on how and when updates can happen. Towards the end of the book you will have improved your React skills by realizing the potential of Firebase to create real-time serverless web applications.
▶What You Will Learn
⦁ Install powerful React.js and Firebase tools to make development much more efficient
⦁ Create React components with Firebase to save and retrieve the data in real-time
⦁ Use Firebase Authentication to make your React user interface secure

⦁ Firebase database security rules
⦁ Firebase Cloud Storage Integration to upload and store data on the cloud
⦁ Create a complete real-time application with React and firebase
⦁ Using Firebase Cloud messaging and Cloud functions with React
⦁ Firebase Cloud Storage integration with React
▶Key Features
⦁ A practical guide covering the full stack for web development with React 16 and Firebase
⦁ Leverage the power of Firebase Cloud Storage, messaging, functions, OAuth, and database security to develop serverless web applications.
⦁ Develop high-performance applications without the hassle of setting up complex web infrastructure.
▶Who This Book Is For
This book is for JavaScript developers who have some previous knowledge of React and want to develop serverless, full-stack applications but without the hassle of setting up a complex infrastructure.
▶What this book covers
⦁ Chapter 1, Getting Started with Firebase and React, introduces the ReactJS and Firebase features and teaches what you can do with them. It gives a brief detail about setting up a Firebase account and create the demo project with JavaScript.
⦁ Chapter 2, Integrate React App with Firebase, looks at setting up the React environment and takes a quick look at the JSX and React component methods. It also goes into creating form components in React using JSX and Firebase Realtime Database for our helpdesk application.
⦁ Chapter 3, Authentication with Firebase, focuses on starting to flesh out the helpdesk application set up in Chapter 2, Integrate React App with Firebase, by adding a Firebase Authentication to secure the application with login component.
⦁ Chapter 4, Connecting React to Redux and Firebase, explores Redux in detail and looks at how and when you need to use Redux in our React app. It will also show you how you can integrate all three—.React, Redux, and Firebase—.with a sample seat booking application.
⦁ Chapter 5, User Profile and Access Management, shows you how you can use Firebase Admin SDK, which provides a user management API to read and write Realtime Database data with full admin privileges by creating application admin page.
⦁ Chapter 6, Firebase Security and Rules, demonstrates how you can secure our database by Firebase Realtime database rules, and it briefly looks at the common database security risks and the checklist to prevent such threats.
⦁ Chapter 7, Using Firebase Cloud messaging and Cloud functions with React, helps us to send free messages across different platforms: Android, iOS, and web in Realtime. It takes you through how you can run your custom application logic without a server.
⦁ Chapter 8, Firebase Cloud Storage, covers how you can integrate Firebase cloud storage into your application and see the features and how you can use it.
⦁ Chapter 9, Best Practices, teaches the dos and don'ts when you are creating a web application with react, Firebase, and redux.
