This file sets up and initializes Firebase for the Navigo app, enabling use of Firebase services such as Authentication, Firestore, and Analytics.

What the Code Does​

  • Import Firebase SDK modules:

    • initializeApp – Initializes the Firebase application with provided config.
    • getAnalytics – Enables Firebase Analytics to track user engagement.
    • getAuth – Provides access to Firebase Authentication services (login, registration).
    • getFirestore – Provides access to Firestore database services (for storing user data like points and inventory).

  • Firebase Configuration:

    • Contains the app’s unique Firebase credentials (apiKey, projectId, appId, etc.).
    • This configuration is specific to the Navigo project created on the Firebase Console.

  • Initialize Firebase App:

    • initializeApp(firebaseConfig) bootstraps Firebase with the app’s credentials.

  • Export Firebase services:

    • analytics – For tracking user behavior.
    • auth – Used for login/signup with email, password, and Google sign-in.
    • db – Used to read/write user data from Firestore.
    • app – Default export for general access to the Firebase app instance.

Note:
Never expose your Firebase credentials in public repositories. Use environment variables for sensitive data in production.
