This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Setting your firebase for the messenger clone web app

Step 1: Go to visit firebase docs (Follow step 2 and step 3)

Step 2: Create a directory called "firebase" under src/components directory and then create a file called "config.js"

Step 3: Copy the code below to "config.js" file and replace the API_KEY, PROJECT_ID, SENDER_ID, APP_ID, MEASUREMENT_ID with the web app you just created followed in step 1

import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/auth';
import 'firebase/firestore';
import 'firebase/storage';

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "API_KEY",
  authDomain: "PROJECT_ID.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://PROJECT_ID.firebaseio.com",
  projectId: "PROJECT_ID",
  storageBucket: "PROJECT_ID.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "SENDER_ID",
  appId: "APP_ID",
  measurementId: "G-MEASUREMENT_ID",
};

firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

const auth = firebase.auth();
const db = firebase.firestore();
const storage = firebase.storage();

export { auth, db, storage };

Step 4: Go to your firebase web app console, click the "Build" section in sidebar,click Authentication enable Email/Password and Facebook sign-in method. After that, follow the "Before you begin" second and third step in this URL to enable Facebook Login in your web app

Step 5: In the same "Build" section in sidebar, click "Cloud Firestore" and then click "Start collection" with Collection ID: users, Document ID: click Auto-ID, Field 1: avatar(string), Field 2: displayName(string)

Step 6: Click the "Rules" besides the "Data", choose production mode and change "allow read, write: if false" to "allow read, write, create: if request.auth != null"

Last Step: Congrats! Now Follow the scripts and notes below and you are ready to go. Enjoy!
