## Getting started



#### Step 1. Create [Firebase account](https://console.firebase.google.com)



  

  Create Firebase account




#### Step 2. Setup Authentication Method

 

  * Click **Set up sign-in method** on Authentication section.

  * Enable **just** Google authentication provider.

  * Add your domain (if you have one) to **Authorized domains**. 

  

  

  Setup authentication



 

#### Step 3. Create Firestore database



* Go to **Database** section and create Firestore instance.



  

  Create Firestore database




*Firestore is still in beta, but it doesn't make it less awesome.*

 

#### Step 4. Database configuration.

 

* Go to **Rules** section in your database and paste configuration from [.firebase-rules](./.firebase-rules) in project root.

* Publish new rules.

 

#### Step 5. Set up Firebase secret keys for our app.



* Create **`.env`** at the root of the project. Do not commit this file. It is personal data that should not be available for everyone.

* Go to **Project settings** in Firebase console (click on the gear icon next to **Project Overview**). 

* Copy data from this page to **`.env`** in the following format:

 

 ```bash

 F_PROJECT_ID=

 F_AUTH_DOMAIN=.firebaseapp.com

 F_API_KEY=

 ```



#### Step 6. Set up Firebase Admin SDK key for importing/exporting data from database.



In order to be able to initialize database with initial seed we need to generate private Firebase Admin service key.



* Go to **Project Settings** > **Service Accounts** and click **Generate new private key** button.

* Save downloaded file as **`firebase-service-key.json`** at project root. 

** Do not commit this file. It's added to `.gitignore` by default.



#### Step 7. Initialize database with initial data.



We almost finished. Let's initialize our database with initial data.



```bash

yarn

yarn run seed

```



#### Step 8. Setup database indexes.



We need manually setup indexes in our Firestore database to be able to make REST requests to our Firebase.



* Go to **Database** > **Indexes** and create the following index.



  

  Create indexes




#### Step 9. Run blog locally.



We're ready to launch our blog locally.



```bash

yarn dev

```



Blog is up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).



#### Step 10. Sign in to admin part.



Wait.. But what's about CMS part?



* Go to [http://localhost:3000/admin](http://localhost:3000/admin) and click on **"Click to start writing"**.

* Sign-in with your Google Account in popup window.

* Go to [Firebase Console](https://console.firebase.google.com) and add author rights to account you just signed in with.

  * Copy **User UID** in **Authentication** section.

  * Create `authors` collection in **Database**

  * Create a record in `authors` collection, where `documentId` is UID of the user and `name` is `id` of user in `config.js` file.



  

  Map author and user




#### Step 11. Ready to go!



* Go to [http://localhost:3000/admin](http://localhost:3000/admin)

* Create new post or edit existing and publish changes.
