# ReactFire



Hooks, Context Providers, and Components that make it easy to interact with

Firebase.



## What is ReactFire?



- **Easy realtime updates for your function components** - Hooks

  like `useUser`and `useFirestoreCollection` let you easily subscribe to

  auth state, realtime data, and all other Firebase SDK events. Plus, they automatically unsubscribe when your component unmounts.

- **Access Firebase libraries from any component** - Need the Firestore SDK? `useFirestore`. Remote Config? `useRemoteConfig`.

- **Safely configure Firebase libraries** - Libraries like Firestore and Remote Config require settings like `enablePersistence` to be set before any data fetches are made. This can be tough to support in React's world of re-renders. ReactFire gives you `useInitFirestore` and `useInitRemoteConfig` hooks that guarantee they're set before anything else.



## Install



```bash

# npm

npm install --save firebase reactfire



# or



# yarn

yarn add firebase reactfire

```



Depending on your targeted platforms you may need to install polyfills. The most commonly needed will be [globalThis](https://caniuse.com/#search=globalThis) and [Proxy](https://caniuse.com/#search=Proxy).

## Example use



Check out the

[live version on StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/fork/reactfire-v4-sample)!



```jsx

import React from 'react';

import { render } from 'react-dom';



import { doc, getFirestore } from 'firebase/firestore';

import { FirebaseAppProvider, FirestoreProvider, useFirestoreDocData, useFirestore, useFirebaseApp } from 'reactfire';



const firebaseConfig = {

  /* Add in your config object from the Firebase console */

};



function BurritoTaste() {

  // access the Firestore library

  const burritoRef = doc(useFirestore(), 'tryreactfire', 'burrito');



  // subscribe to a document for realtime updates. just one line!

  const { status, data } = useFirestoreDocData(burritoRef);



  // check the loading status

  if (status === 'loading') {

    return 
Fetching burrito flavor...
;

  }



  return 
The burrito is {data.yummy ? 'good' : 'bad'}!
;

}



function App() {

  const firestoreInstance = getFirestore(useFirebaseApp());

  return (

    

      
🌯


      

    

  );

}



render(

  

    

  ,

  document.getElementById('root')

);

```

## Status



![Status: Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/Status-Experimental-blue)



This repository is maintained by Googlers but is not a supported Firebase product. Issues here are answered by maintainers and other community members on GitHub on a best-effort basis.



### Extra Experimental [concurrent mode](https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-suspense.html) features



These features are marked as *extra experimental* because they use experimental React features that [will not be stable until sometime after React 18 is released](https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions/47#:~:text=Likely%20after%20React%2018.0%3A%20Suspense%20for%20Data%20Fetching).



- **Loading states handled by ``** - ReactFire's hooks throw promises

  that Suspense can catch. Let React

  [handle loading states for you](https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-suspense.html).

- **Automatically instrument your `Suspense` load times** - Need to automatically instrument your `Suspense` load times with [RUM](https://firebase.google.com/docs/perf-mon)? Use ``.



Enable concurrent mode features by following the [concurrent mode setup guide](https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-adoption.html#installation) and then setting the `suspense` prop in `FirebaseAppProvider`:



```jsx



```
