Build a Chat App with React Native and Firebase

Configure and leverage Firebase to build a chat app with anonymous authentication!

Last Updated: Apr 8th, 2022

Welcome! In this class we're going to cover how to build a basic chat app in React Native.

To accomplish this we'll heavily rely on the services Firebase provides (Authentication, Firestore). We'll interact with Firebase via the react-native-firebase suite of packages.

We'll also be using react-native-gifted-chat to easily build a fully functioning chat UI.

If you're in need of building a chat app, or wanting to add chat functionality to your existing React Native app, this is the class for you!

Good training. Helped me to get familiar with react native. I'm new as developer and the exercise app will help me to support me in my future apps.
