Usage

Firebase Compose has separate modules for using Firebase Realtime Database and Cloud Firestore. To get started, see the individual instructions for each module:

• Firebase Compose Firestore
• Firebase Compose Database

Installation

Firebase Compose is published as a collection of libraries separated by the Firebase API they target. Each Firebase Compose library has a transitive dependency on the appropriate Firebase SDK so there is no need to include those separately in your app.

Step 1 - Add the jitpack maven in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            ...
            maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        }
    }

Step 2 - In your app/build.gradle file add a dependency on one of the Firebase Compose libraries.

dependencies {
    // Firebase Compose for Firebase Realtime Database
    implementation 'com.github.rosariopfernandes.firebase-compose:database:1.0.0-beta01'

    // Firebase Compose for Cloud Firestore
    implementation 'com.github.rosariopfernandes.firebase-compose:firestore:1.0.0-beta01'
}

After the project is synchronized, we're ready to start using Firebase functionality in our Compose app.

Dependencies

Compatibility with Firebase libraries

Firebase Compose libraries have the following transitive dependencies on the Firebase SDK:
