October 2019 - This is a link to another sample application using Ionic Framework, Firebase and React, but this one uses react-hooks. This is sample code from the ReactJS Course I taught at Inclusive Innovation Incubator as part of our #TheFutureIsWrittenInCode initiative

Responding to suggestion from Max Lynch...

"If someone wrote a tutorial on using Ionic React with Firebase that would be pretty cool (hint hint)"

So I pulled together some of the code I was already playing with, will post more as I work on additional features

• IonTabs
  • Tabs Detail Page
• IonDatePicker
• IonModal
• IonToast
• Firebase Authentication
• Mobx State Management

Still working on

• Firebase CRUD
• Firebase Create Account
• IonList

Configure Firebase

// firebaseService.js - set your own firebase project information
var firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  authDomain: "xxxxxxxxxxxx.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://xxxxxxxxxxxx.firebaseio.com",
  projectId: "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  storageBucket: "xxxxxxxxxxxx.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "xxxxxxxxxxxx"
};

Adding Capacitor

npm install --save @capacitor/cli @capacitor/core

next you need to build the app

npm run build

then edit the capacitor.config.json to point to the web directory

{
  "appId": "com.aks.reactionicfb",
  "appName": "reactionicfb",
  "bundledWebRuntime": false,
  "npmClient": "npm",
  "webDir": "build" <=== make this change
}

Now add ios or android to the application, on ios please checkout this known issue https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues/1448

npx cap add ios

Update the index.html to create the safe area on devices

<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1,user-scalable=no, width=device-width, 
                               height=device-height, viewport-fit=cover">

Then to run on ios device

npm run build; npx cap sync

This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.

Available Scripts

In the project directory, you can run:

npm start

Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.

The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.

npm test

Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.

npm run build

Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.

The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!

See the section about deployment for more information.

npm run eject

Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!

If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.

Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (Webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.

You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
