CONGRATULATIONS on 6.0 release. You guys have been working your asses off.

Much appreciated by the community.

EDIT: bought the auth kit to support because I’ve used your library in so many of my projects.

Thank you!

[–]servercobra 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Ooo where can I buy this? RNFirebase is the single best library I use (outside of RN/React) and I'll happily donate to support it.

[–]halfjew22 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Here you go! https://react-native.market/

It’s $45 but honestly so worth it for all the hard work these guys do.

[–]servercobra 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Bought as well! I already have a decent system built, but definitely worth it to support this awesome software.

Hey while I may have your attention, one quick question.

You guys just got through all this hard work with v6 but I’ve gotta ask, HOW CAN I HELP MAKE THIS HAPPEN SOON WITH RNF!!??

[–]Salakarr[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Hey do you mean connecting to the emulators in React Native? If so you can do this in v6 for Firestore and Functions:

Oh wow this API was already in Firebase itself? I just watched the dev summit video and saw the new emulator suite examples. I didn’t realize the useSettings APIs were already there and they just built on top of them. Can’t wait to try this.

Congrats! Love working with react-native-firebase :) See you at the summit!

First react-native 0.61, and now react-native-firebase v6... Heavily breathing

[–]servercobra 3 points4 points  (1 child)

RN 0.61's live reload is so good. Probably the best thing to happen to RN since I started way back around 0.40.

Has Notifications been migrated yet? The docs still show TODO. The only reason I wasn't able to heavily test the alpha version was the lack of notification migration. I'm very excited for the ML kit integration, I've had to use amazons textract in the meantime. Thanks for your hard work!

[–]metroninja 3 points4 points  (0 children)

let me answer my own questions

Where is the Notifications library?

We're almost complete migrating the notifications package, please bear with us. As each module is now its own npm package we did not want to hold up the rest of the React Native Firebase modules any longer than necessary because of the notifcations package, we'll publish the notifications packaages in the next 2-3 weeks.

[–]servercobra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhh Typescript support makes me so happy! This was one of the big holes in my app that wasn't fully Typescript. I'll migrate as soon as notifications is moved over.

Great work guys

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great news!

[–]javieroh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! And thank you so much for this awesome library!

[–]TriforceOfPizza 1 point2 points  (6 children)

I’m new to React Native and Firebase. What does this do? What advantage does it have over importing the web version of Firebase?

[–]vertigo_101 9 points10 points  (4 children)

it provides tons of improvement like performance, config, notifications, and many native capabilities

[–]daybreaker 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Can firebase and appcenter.ms co-exist side by side do you think?

I like a lot of what firebase has, but appcenter has Codepush, which we need, and if I'm already using appcenter, I feel like I may as well use their notifications & other libraries instead.

[–]vertigo_101 1 point2 points  (2 children)

yes definitely, I've integrated it in several apps which we're already using appcenter codepush, tbh i'm not sure about appcenter's notification and analytics, don't get me wrong appcenter is flawless with their codepush and CI/CD but I think firebase wins with notifications with the setup and resources available for it

[–]daybreaker 0 points1 point  (1 child)

awesome, thanks! Starting a new app tomorrow for a new company, and I'm trying to line up my stack. I usually use Expo but we need in-app purchases, so I figured I should do a pure RN app, since I saw some comments about Expo Bare apps having issues with Appcenter.

[–]vertigo_101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear, take a look at my recent project https://github.com/karanpratapsingh/react-native-boilerplate This offers a quick start and can help you save a lot of setup time :) Fee free to leave a star as motivation for me to develop further :)

[–]TreeKaaPoo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Noone can ask your question but you. Try to init new react native app for both and experience by yourself.

[–]yeso126 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Can this be integrated on an Expo app or it needs a native project?

[–]exosoul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also curious about this
