Hello World!

In this article, let's see how we can deploy our web application using Firebase.

To start with, first check whether npm is installed in your computer. To check, just type the below command in your terminal Window.

npm --version

If you don't have firebase tools in your computer, install it through the following command

npm install –g firebase-tools

Next, we have to create an application in Firebase.

If you have an account in firebase, just login to the console. Else create one here

console.firebase.google.com

Signing in to Firebase

Next, create a new project in Firebase. Name it and select country.

Now, come back to the terminal and move to the destination, where your webpage is situated.

Now we have to login into firebase. Use the command for login to firebase

For this just hit the Enter key.

Do you want to install dependencies with npm now? (Y/n)

For this give ‘yes’ (y)

After installing required, it prompts for What do you want to use as your public directory? (public). For this just give any name (like www).

What do you want to use as your public directory? (public)

Move the webpage files into the folder that we have created(www).

Configure as a single-page app (rewrite all urls to /index.html)?

For this give NO.
