Firebase client-side SDK

If necessary, you can enable specific Firebase capabilities in UI Bakery, for example, connecting to your app from the client. In this article, we'll explore the steps you need to take both in your Firebase app and in UI Bakery since a specific configuration is required.

Prerequisites

Open your Firebase app and navigate to Project Settings > SDK setup and configuration. Select the Config option and copy the setup script to be used later for integration.

Do NOT copy the const firebaseConfig = part.

If there is no web app connection available, you need to create it.

Below is an example of what a setup script might look like:

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "AIzaSyDyWoZsfx4XnpCQ89Sf1BkDTTSWwV4m244",
  authDomain: "fir-webinar-39878.firebaseapp.com",
  databaseURL: "https://fir-webinar-39878-default-rtdb.firebaseio.com",
  projectId: "fir-webinar-39878",
  storageBucket: "fir-webinar-39878.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "345464345951",
  appId: "1:345464345951:web:1f33b5a91d6d954bc512ea"
};

Connecting the data source

Now, in UI Bakery, open the project you need in the Builder and click on the Custom code tab in the footer panel. There, insert the Firebase connection code together with the configuration you copied in the previous section:

<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.10.0/firebase-app-compat.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.10.0/firebase-firestore-compat.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/9.10.0/firebase-auth-compat.js"></script>

<script>
  firebase.initializeApp(Firebase config goes here);
</script>

If you need to enable other Firebase capabilities, you can connect the corresponding Firebase library. You can find all available libraries listed here.
