## Getting started
#### Step 1. Create [Firebase account](https://console.firebase.google.com)
#### 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**.
#### Step 3. Create Firestore database
* Go to **Database** section and create Firestore instance.
*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.
#### 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.
#### Step 11. Ready to go!
* Go to [http://localhost:3000/admin](http://localhost:3000/admin)
* Create new post or edit existing and publish changes.
