What is it?

React Native Firebase is a set of official React Native packages that connect an app to Firebase services. Each module is a thin JavaScript layer over the native Firebase SDKs on iOS and Android, so apps can use Firebase features from one JavaScript codebase.

The project ships separate packages for each service, including Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, Cloud Storage, Cloud Messaging, Cloud Functions, Analytics, Crashlytics, Performance Monitoring, Remote Config, In-app Messaging, App Check and AI. The main entry point is the App package, which the other modules depend on. The API mirrors the Firebase Web SDK, so code written for the web can often be reused in React Native.

The packages include TypeScript typings and reference documentation. The maintainers state that each module is tested to more than 95% coverage.

  • Adding Firebase authentication and Firestore data to a React Native app.
  • Sending push notifications through Firebase Cloud Messaging in a mobile app.
  • Collecting crash reports and performance data from an iOS or Android app.
  • Sharing Firebase logic between a React Native app and a web app.
