react-firebase9-hooks v4.0.0-alpha.0

Temporary package to migrate react-firebase-hooks to Firebase v9.

React Firebase Hooks

A set of reusable React Hooks for Firebase.

This documentation is for v4 of React Firebase Hooks which involved a number of breaking changes, including adding support for Firebase v9 - more details here.

• For v3 documentation (Firebase v8), see here.
• For v2 documentation, see here.

Installation

React Firebase Hooks v4 requires React 16.8.0 or later and Firebase v9.0.0 or later.

Official support for Hooks was added to React Native in v0.59.0. React Firebase Hooks works with both the Firebase JS SDK and React Native Firebase, although some of the typings may be incorrect.

# with npm
npm install --save react-firebase-hooks

# with yarn
yarn add react-firebase-hooks

This assumes that you’re using the npm or yarn package managers with a module bundler like Webpack or Browserify to consume CommonJS modules.

Why?

There has been a lot of hype around React Hooks, but this hype merely reflects that there are obvious real world benefits of Hooks to React developers everywhere.

This library explores how React Hooks can work to make integration with Firebase even more straightforward than it already is. It takes inspiration for naming from RxFire and is based on an internal library that we had been using in a number of apps prior to the release of React Hooks. The implementation with hooks is 10x simpler than our previous implementation.
