React-firebase-hooks

I'm trying to figure out how to use react-firebase-hooks in my react app so that I can simplify calls on my database.

You also might benefit from leveraging react-firebase-hooks. I’ve been really liking using it. https://github.com/csfrequency/react-firebase-hooks

For a good while, I've been relying on a little package called react-firebase-hooks to turn my Firebase realtime document fetching into tidy hooks. However, this library has become a bit sketchy since the release of Firebase v9 a.k.a the Modular edition.

For example, this issue, this issue, is already handled out of the box - and a lot of the other ones are already solved since React Query does all of the hard work.

If you want, you can use useFirebaseAuth which takes care of onAuthStateChanged for you in a clean and simple way. That library also has useful hooks for working with Firestore and RTB.

I believe this should be fixed soon, as chrisbianca says on Github https://github.com/CSFrequency/react-firebase-hooks/issues/104#issuecomment-778586537

It seems like you have a function to initialize firebase, so my next question is how you're initializing it. Normally, with an auth context provider, you'd want to export the app so you can call it in a component, like this.
