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

React Firebase - Has not had a new commit since Nov. 2019.

I'm using a thing called react-firebase-js to handle firebase auth, but my understanding of react and of the provider-consumer idea is limited.

For seamless integration, we will be using the React Firebase package. To install it, run the following commands.

I've been able to mint custom tokens on the server after authenticating with Spotify's OAuth2 and return them to the client. On return I call the firebase.auth().signInWithCustomToken(token); It seems to succeed, but it doesn't? My AuthConsumer component doesnt notice a change in authentication state - but on the firebase console, I see a new user created and signed in.
