Setup Firebase

To configure Firebase for ShipFast, follow these steps:

Steps to set up Firebase

1. Create a Firebase Project

• Go to the Firebase Console (opens in a new tab).
• Click on "Add Project" and follow the setup wizard to create a new project.

2. Get Firebase Config Object

• Once the project is created, navigate to "Project Settings" by clicking on the gear icon in the top left corner.

• Scroll to the "Your apps" section and click on the "Web" icon to register your app.

• After registering, Firebase will provide a config object that looks like this:

  const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "<your_api_key>",
    authDomain: "<your_auth_domain>",
    projectId: "<your_project_id>",
    storageBucket: "<your_storage_bucket>",
    messagingSenderId: "<your_messaging_sender_id>",
    appId: "<your_app_id>",
    measurementId: "<your_measurement_id>"
  };

3. Configure the Firebase Project

• Create a firebase-config.js file in your project root and paste the Firebase config object into it:

  // firebase-config.js
  const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "<your_api_key>",
    authDomain: "<your_auth_domain>",
    projectId: "<your_project_id>",
    storageBucket: "<your_storage_bucket>",
    messagingSenderId: "<your_messaging_sender_id>",
    appId: "<your_app_id>",
    measurementId: "<your_measurement_id>"
  };
   
  export { firebaseConfig };

4. Export Firebase Configuration
   • Ensure that the firebaseConfig constant is exported so it can be imported and used in other parts of the application.

You have successfully set up Firebase for your ShipFast app.
