Overview:

Sveltekit Fire is a library that allows users to integrate Svelte Kit projects with Firebase effortlessly. It simplifies the process of setting up and configuring Firebase within a Svelte Kit project. This library makes use of .env files to store Firebase configuration data, providing cleaner code and the ability to lazily initialize Firebase from multiple components.

Features:

  • Integration of Svelte Kit projects with Firebase
  • Use of .env files for storing Firebase configuration data
  • Lazy initialization of Firebase from multiple components
  • Compatibility with server-side rendering (SSR) (partially supported)

Installation:

To install Sveltekit Fire, follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal and run the following command:

    npm install sveltekit-fire
    
  2. If you are using other modules from Firebase, ensure that you have installed Firebase JS SDK version 9 or above by running the following command:

    npm install firebase@9
    
  3. Create a new app inside a Firebase project. Choose the “web/Svelte Configuration” option.

  4. If you have installed Firebase JS SDK version 9 or above, add the following code to your svelte.config.js file:

    import { env } from 'sveltekit-fire';
    
    const config = {
      // Your Firebase configuration
    };
    
    export default {
      kit: {
        vite: {
          define: {
            'process.env': env(config),
          },
        },
      },
    };
    
  5. To initialize Firebase, add the following code:

    import { getFirebase } from 'sveltekit-fire';
    
    const firebase = getFirebase();
    

Summary:

Sveltekit Fire is a library that simplifies the integration of Svelte Kit projects with Firebase. It provides a straightforward installation process and supports lazy initialization of Firebase from multiple components.
