Flutter and Firebase from Scratch | Setup FlutterFire CLI

Hey folks, so as I was working on the Clean Architecture series for the channel, I was using Firestore as the database for the project, because of that I'm starting a new series along side the clean architecture videos. This will focus on just Firebase with flutter so that It will be easy to understand the database concepts.

STEPS IN SETTING UP FIREBASE CLI

1. Install Node.JS If you don't have it already. https://nodejs.org/en/
2. Open any terminal and run npm install -g firebase-tools
3. After successfull installation, login to your firebase account using the firebase login command.
4. You can choose Y or N for the analytics question, it doesn't really matter
5. After successful login, run dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli, this will install the flutter cli onto your PC
6. You can now use the flutterfire configure command to connect your flutter project to an existing firebase project or create a new project from the terminal like I did in the video, I will suggest you create the project and then connect it using flutterfire configure

7. Select the platform you want to configure for, allow overwriting of build.gradle file and that's all. You just have to add the firebase_core package and any other firebase dependency your project may require.

In the upcoming videos, we will look at how to setup a new project, Firebase concepts like collections, documents, IDs and everything you have to know as a beginner
