Connect your app to Firestore and fetch realtime data
Hey Reader,
I'm working on a video course for the EggHead platform and I wanted to share a quick bit with you.
In this video, you'll learn how to set up your Firebase project in Ionic or Angular applications using AngularFire and the `ng add` schematic.
After that, we'll explore the Firebase console to see the available services we have, talk a bit about the Firestore database and explain the 2 main types of data: Collections and Documents.
After that, we'll use AngularFire to reactively pull data from Firestore and display it as a list in our application.
P.S: Need any help at the moment? Or is there something you're struggling with? Do let me know, I'd be happy to help šš½

The fact that someone knows your apiKey is not a security risk...
Hey Reader, I started migrating an app to nextjs (coming from an Ionic with Angular background) because I wanted to learn more about the react ecosystem. Last night I went through the routing documentation on their site and created the placeholder files and folders for all the pages my app will need, and doing so, I learned a few things about the App Router that I wanted to share with you. Check out what I've learned about the NEXT.js app router. So far, I like the simplicity of it all,...
Hey Reader, After a little over a decade of working with Angular (ever since the days of Angular 1, now AngularJS) I decided giving react a serious chance, mostly due to what Iāve seen in my current job search, most of the job posts I see for front end developer have some sort of requirement for react. Yeah, even the āAngular Developerā roles have the line that says ā3-4 years with react.js is preferredā š Here is a collection of things Iāve learned about react APIs and how they compare to...
