AngularFire

AngularFire smooths over the rough edges an Angular developer might encounter when implementing the framework-agnostic Firebase JS SDK & aims to provide a more natural developer experience by conforming to Angular conventions.

ng add @angular/fire

• Dependency injection - Provide and Inject Firebase services in your components.
• Zone.js wrappers - Stable zones allow proper functionality of service workers, forms, SSR, and pre-rendering.
• Observable based - Utilize RxJS rather than callbacks for real-time streams.
• NgRx friendly API - Integrate with NgRx using AngularFire's action based APIs.
• Lazy-loading - AngularFire dynamically imports much of Firebase, reducing the time to load your app.
• Deploy schematics - Get your Angular application deployed on Firebase Hosting with a single command.
• Google Analytics - Zero-effort Angular Router awareness in Google Analytics.
• Router Guards - Guard your Angular routes with built-in Firebase Authentication checks.

Example use

import { provideFirebaseApp, initializeApp } from '@angular/fire/app';
import { getFirestore, provideFirestore } from '@angular/fire/firestore';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp({ ... })),
    provideFirestore(() => getFirestore()),
    ...
  ],
  ...
})

import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Firestore, collectionData, collection } from '@angular/fire/firestore';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

interface Item {
  name: string,
  ...
};

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
  <ul>
    @for (item of (item$ | async); track item) {
      <li>
        {{ item.name }}
      </li>
    }
  </ul>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  item$: Observable<Item[]>;
  firestore: Firestore = inject(Firestore);

  constructor() {
    const itemCollection = collection(this.firestore, 'items');
    this.item$ = collectionData<Item>(itemCollection);
  }
}

Polyfills

Neither AngularFire nor Firebase ship with polyfills. To have compatibility across a wide-range of environments, we suggest the following polyfills be added to your application:

Resources

Quickstart - Get your first application up and running by following our quickstart guide.

Contributing

Stackblitz Template - Remember to set your Firebase configuration in app/app.module.ts.

Upgrading to v7.0? Check out our guide.

Sample apps

We have three sample apps in this repository:

1. samples/compat a kitchen sink application that demonstrates use of the "compatibility" API
2. samples/modular a kitchen sink application that demonstrates the new tree-shakable API
3. samples/advanced the same app as samples/modular but demonstrates more advanced concepts such as Angular Universal state-transfer, dynamically importing Firebase feature modules, and Firestore data bundling.

Having troubles?

Get help on our Q&A board, the official Firebase Mailing List, the Firebase Community Slack (#angularfire2), the Angular Community Discord (#firebase), Gitter, the Firebase subreddit, or Stack Overflow.

NOTE: While relatively stable, AngularFire is a developer preview and is subject to change before general availability. Questions on the mailing list and issues filed here are answered on a best-effort basis by maintainers and other community members. If you are able to reproduce a problem with Firebase outside of AngularFire's implementation, please file an issue on the Firebase JS SDK or reach out to the personalized Firebase support channel.

Developer Guide

This developer guide assumes you're using the new tree-shakable AngularFire API, if you're looking for the compatibility API you can find the documentation here.

See the v7 upgrade guide for more information on this change..
