Using Firebase

Firebase has been around for many years and is loved by many, including myself! With a little abstraction, it can be extremely helpful.
Setting Up the Project at Firebase
We'll set things up and have a look around, then get the configuration bits so we can get our project going.
Wiring Firebase to Our Project
We'll have the same issue we had with Supabase: Firebase is a client only kind of thing, so let's make sure we get setup properly.
Adding Authentication
It comes with Firebase, so let's add it in! We'll use the magic link, just like we are now.
Adding Some Abstraction
We don't want Firebase "stuff" littered throughout the application, so let's make sure we abstract it somehow.
Creating the Collections
Firebase is a document store but, just like Supabase, you need to build things with an API and rules in mind. Our focus: make it shallow and flat! We'll set up our seed to load up the documents.
Applying Rules
Just like Supabase, we need to make sure that requests for data are locked down. This will inform how we structure out system.
Setting Up Hosting and Shipping!
Unlike Supabase, Firebase has hosting with a free SSL cert. We'll set it up and then tune up our project for Firebase deployment.
