Integrating Firebase and Ionic Framework

Last updated on September 24th, 2018 | About 3 or 4 times a month someone asks this questions, they are worried that since Ionic apps are client-side code (HTML, CSS, JS), someone can see their Firebase credentials and mess with their data. I understand why this is a concern. People want to keep their data […]

Last updated on September 24th, 2018 | Cannot read property uid of undefined How many times have you seen that error message? (Be honest!). I’ve seen it so many times (both on the console and my inbox) that I lost track of the exact number, but it’s probably embarrassingly high. Today we’re going to go […]

Last updated on September 24th, 2018 | NOTE: This post is out-dated, instead of using a 3rd party library you can use Cloud Firestore, the offline by default new database.

Last updated on September 24th, 2018 | Last week I sent an email to my subscribers asking them if they had any questions about PWA (Progressive Web Apps) with Ionic Framework. My idea was to answer most of them in my book but seeing how so many people had the same questions. I decided to […]

Last updated on September 24th, 2018 | Taken straight from the official website: Firebase Cloud Functions is a hosted, private, and scalable Node.js environment where you can run JavaScript code. Firebase SDK for Cloud Functions integrates the Firebase platform by letting you write code that responds to events and invokes functionality exposed by other Firebase […]

Last updated on September 24th, 2018 | Have you tried to get Ionic Twitter login working with Firebase? There was a change when Firebase updated to V3 that made all the cool sign-in with pop-up and redirection stop working with Cordova apps. It sucked! But then I realized something, yeah, it sucked for us as […]

Last updated on November 1st, 2018 | Google and Facebook are the most common ways to use social login in your apps, a while back we covered Facebook login using Firebase, and today it’s time for Ionic Google authentication.
