Setup Firebase

To configure Firebase for ShipFast, follow these steps:

1. Create a Firebase Project

• Go to the Firebase Console (opens in a new tab).
• Click on "Add Project" and follow the setup wizard to create a new project.

2. Get Firebase Config Object

• Once the project is created, navigate to "Project Settings" by clicking on the gear icon in the top left corner.

• Scroll to the "Your apps" section and click on the "Web" icon to register your app.

• After registering, Firebase will provide a config object that looks like this:

  const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "<your_api_key>",
    authDomain: "<your_auth_domain>",
    projectId: "<your_project_id>",
    storageBucket: "<your_storage_bucket>",
    messagingSenderId: "<your_messaging_sender_id>",
    appId: "<your_app_id>",
    measurementId: "<your_measurement_id>"
  };

3. Configure the Firebase Project

• Copy the values from your Firebase project settings and paste them into the existing firebase-config.js file located in the config directory:

  // config/firebase-config.js
  const firebaseConfig = {
    apiKey: "<your_api_key>",
    authDomain: "<your_auth_domain>",
    projectId: "<your_project_id>",
    storageBucket: "<your_storage_bucket>",
    messagingSenderId: "<your_messaging_sender_id>",
    appId: "<your_app_id>",
    measurementId: "<your_measurement_id>"
  };
   
  export { firebaseConfig };

4. Export Firebase Configuration

• Ensure that the firebaseConfig constant is exported so it can be imported and used in other parts of the application.

Next you'll have to setup Firebase Service accounts so that API routes work with Vercel.
