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.
• Google Analytics - Zero-effort Angular Router awareness in Google Analytics.
• Router Guards - Guard your Angular routes with built-in Firebase Authentication checks.

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

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

import { AsyncPipe } from '@angular/common';
import { Component, inject } from '@angular/core';
import { Firestore, FirestoreDataConverter, collectionData, collection } from '@angular/fire/firestore';

interface Item {
  name: string;
}

// Types the collection and checks every document on its way in
const itemConverter: FirestoreDataConverter<Item> = {
  toFirestore: item => item,
  fromFirestore: (snapshot, options) => {
    const data = snapshot.data(options);
    return { name: typeof data['name'] === 'string' ? data['name'] : '' };
  },
};

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
  <ul>
    @for (item of (items$ | async); track item) {
      <li>
        {{ item.name }}
      </li>
    }
  </ul>
  `,
  imports: [AsyncPipe]
})
export class App {
  firestore = inject(Firestore);
  itemCollection = collection(this.firestore, 'items').withConverter(itemConverter);
  items$ = collectionData(this.itemCollection); // Observable<Item[]>
}

The converter is what gives the read its type. collection() alone returns an untyped reference. See Typed reads.

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

Deploying SSR to App Hosting - Deploy a server-rendered app to Firebase App Hosting, and avoid the silent SSR-to-CSR fallback.

The sample folder contains a kitchen sink application that demonstrates use of the "modular" API, in a zoneless server-rendered application, with all the bells and whistles.

NOTE: 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.

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.
