👋 Introduction

LIGHTNING SHARE is a file hosting and sharing service powered by Firebase. Users can upload files under 20MB and download hosted files using a "share code" (a short 3 word code provided by words-aas). After uploading a file, the file uploader can retrieve the share code and share it with others or delete the file at any time. Files will automatically be deleted after 21 days (WIP).

Firebase

Firebase is used to power the authentication, database, and file storage for LIGHTNING SHARE. For security reasons, the production LIGHTING SHARE Firebase project is not available for local development on localhost. As such, you will need to create your own Firebase project for local development purposes.

On your development Firebase project:

1. Enable anonymous authentication.
2. Ensure localhost is an authorized domain for authentication.
3. Enable Firestore Database and Storage features.

Replace the firebaseConfig variable in src/util/firebase-config.ts with the config for your Firebase project.
