Firebase secure deployment support

nathanjones4323 commented 1 year ago

This package is awesome! My only problem was that I need to persist the data with firebase, but I can't push my firestore-key.json file to GitHub for security.

This PR uses the method from this blog post to read the firebase credentials from st.secrets in addition to directly from firestore-key.json

[x] Adds support for using firebase to persist analytics securely when deployed through Streamlit Cloud or self hosting
[x] Adds support for nested dicts with non-string keys
[x] Added to documentation on usage inside README.md
[x] Tested locally with my firebase credentials
[x] Display widget usage stats in pandas.DataFrame instead of a single dict
