Getting Started

Before Use

Install

npm install --save react-redux-firebase

Peer Dependencies

Install peer dependencies: npm i --save redux react-redux

Install

npm install --save react-redux-firebase

Add Reducer

Include firebase in your combine reducers function:

import { combineReducers } from 'redux'
import { firebaseReducer } from 'react-redux-firebase'

// Add firebase to reducers
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
  firebase: firebaseReducer
})

Setting Up Store With Store Enhancer

import { compose } from 'redux'
import { reactReduxFirebase } from 'react-redux-firebase'

// Firebase config
const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: '<your-api-key>',
  authDomain: '<your-auth-domain>',
  databaseURL: '<your-database-url>',
  storageBucket: '<your-storage-bucket>'
}
// react-redux-firebase options
const config = {
  userProfile: 'users', // firebase root where user profiles are stored
  enableLogging: false, // enable/disable Firebase's database logging
}

// Add redux Firebase to compose
const createStoreWithFirebase = compose(
  reactReduxFirebase(firebase, config)
)(createStore)

// Create store with reducers and initial state
const store = createStoreWithFirebase(rootReducer, initialState)

View the config section for full list of configuration options.

Use in Components

Queries Based On State Todos component from above examples

import React from 'react'
import PropTypes from 'prop-types'
import { connect } from 'react-redux'
import { compose } from 'redux'
import { firebaseConnect } from 'react-redux-firebase'

export default compose(
  firebaseConnect((props) => {
    return [
      'todos'
    ]
  }),
  connect(
    (state) => ({
      todos: state.firebase.data.todos,
      // profile: state.firebase.profile // load profile
    })
  )
)(Todos)

Decorators

They are completely optional, but ES7 Decorators can be used. The Simple Example shows implementation without decorators, while the Decorators Example shows the same application with decorators implemented.

A side by side comparison using react-redux's connect function/HOC is the best way to illustrate the difference:

class SomeComponent extends Component {

}
export default connect()(SomeComponent)

vs.

@connect()
export default class SomeComponent extends Component {

}

In order to enable this functionality, you will most likely need to install a plugin (depending on your build setup). For Webpack and Babel, you will need to make sure you have installed and enabled babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy by doing the following:

1. run npm i --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy
2. Add the following line to your .babelrc:

   {
   "plugins": ["transform-decorators-legacy"]
   }
