Overview
AngularFire is an Angular library that wraps the Firebase JS SDK so Firebase services are provided through dependency injection and real-time data is exposed as RxJS observables. It covers Firestore, Realtime Database, Auth, Storage, Functions, Messaging, Analytics, App Check, AI Logic, Data Connect, Performance Monitoring and Remote Config. It installs with `ng add @angular/fire`.
Who it is for: Angular developers building apps on Firebase services
Strengths
- Covers twelve Firebase products, each under its own @angular/fire/* import path
- Zone.js wrappers aimed at SSR, pre-rendering and service worker compatibility
- Firestore reads return typed observables via collectionData and data converters
- Route guards for Firebase Authentication and Angular Router-aware Google Analytics
Weaknesses
- Only useful with Angular and a Firebase project; it is a client library, not a backend
- Depends on the Firebase JS SDK, so SDK issues must be reported upstream
- Issues and mailing list questions are answered on an as-available basis
- Major version upgrades need migration guides (v7, v21, v22)
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Angular, Firebase JS SDK, RxJS, Firebase project
