So far, it was fine to rely only on React's local state and React's Context API. This tutorial dives into using MobX on top of React and Firebase for the state management. We'll exchange React's local state (e.g. users on admin page, messages on home page) and React's context (e.g. session management for authenticated user) with MobX. It will how…
The previous tutorial series covered a lot of ground for Firebase in React. So far, it was fine to rely only on React's local state and React's Context API. This tutorial dives into using Redux on top of React and Firebase for state management. You will exchange React's local state (e.g. users on admin page, messages on home page) and React's…
There are various advanced concepts and patterns in React to master on becoming a React developer.

You can find more about the topic in the official React documentation as well. Composition in JavaScript Let's take…
Today, I am thrilled to announce The Road to Firebase , my book that started as a tutorial in 2017 and has evolved into course material. The tutorial has been one of the most-read and well-received articles on my website, and this gave me the idea to add enough content to make a complete volume. Perhaps the best thing about the book is that I…

I am saying good old here, because there is this new cool kid on the block: Firebase's Cloud Firestore . It can be used as alternative to Firebase's Realtime Database . According to Google's documentation, there are four major…
After we built a full-fledged application in React, the final step is deployment, the tipping point of getting your ideas out into the world, from consuming tutorials to producing applications. We will use Firebase Hosting for the deployment. In this section, I want to guide you through deploying your React application to Firebase. It works for…
Now we've worked with a list of data and single entities with the Firebase's realtime database to create an admin dashboard in the previous sections. In this section, I want to introduce a new entity to demonstrate a business-related feature for a Firebase in React application, a message entity that lets you create a chat application. We'll cover…
Semantic UI is a UI component framework for theming websites. Semantic UI enables developers to build websites with fast and concise HTML, along with a complete mobile responsive experience. Semantic UI treats words and classes as exchangeable concepts. Classes use syntax from natural languages like noun/modifier relationships, word order, and…
Before we dive deeper into Firebase's realtime database and the domain-related business logic of our application, it makes sense to invest more time into React Router. So far, we have split up our application into top-level routes to manage our whole authentication flow with login, logout, and registration. Additionally, we protected top-level…
In your application, users can employ an email/password combination, but also social logins to get access to your service or product. Often, the email address associated with the social logins is confirmed by the social platform (Google, Facebook, Twitter) and you know this email address really exists. But what about the email address used with the…
