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.
