Using RNFirebase for a React Web App

[babara2]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is at all possible to use RNFirebase for a ReactJS webapp. I really like how the notifications module is implemented and would like to use the functionality for my web app.

@babara2 for the Web you'll have to use the official Firebase Web SDK, we use the native Android & iOS SDK's on this library. Notifications is very much specific to Android or iOS devices.

Web SDK: https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup

@Salakar what's about today with React Native for Web ?

@gsouf no change. This library targets Android & iOS so using the Firebase official Web SDK is the way to go.

To the question:

what's the recommended way to work with invertase for an application that compiles to ios/android and web?

Invertase's team answered:

Your best bet is to create a file which returns an instance of Firebase depending on the environment. Our SDK matches the Web SDK where it can, however there are differences, so the experience may be tricky.

Or have an interface that abstracts your firebase services, and in your bootstrap switch based on platform which firebase implementation is used to implement the interface, a classic example being something like pluggable database drivers in native apps
