https:\/\/console.firebase.google.com<\/a>), create a new project, and note down the project ID and API keys.<\/p>\nSetting up the Ionic Project<\/h2>\n
Let’s start by setting up our Ionic project. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following commands:<\/p>\n
ionic start social-media-app blank --type=angular\ncd social-media-app\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, add the iOS and Android platforms:<\/p>\n
ionic capacitor add ios\nionic capacitor add android\n<\/code><\/pre>\nUser Authentication with Firebase<\/h2>\n
To allow users to sign up and sign in to our app, we’ll use Firebase Authentication. Run the following command to install the Firebase SDK:<\/p>\n
npm install firebase @angular\/fire\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, open the src\/environments\/environment.ts<\/code> file and add the Firebase configuration. Replace YOUR_FIREBASE_CONFIG<\/code> with your actual Firebase project configuration:<\/p>\nexport const environment = {\n production: false,\n firebase: {\n apiKey: \"YOUR_FIREBASE_API_KEY\",\n authDomain: \"YOUR_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN\",\n projectId: \"YOUR_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID\",\n storageBucket: \"YOUR_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET\",\n messagingSenderId: \"YOUR_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID\",\n appId: \"YOUR_FIREBASE_APP_ID\"\n }\n};\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow, open the src\/app\/app.module.ts<\/code> file and import the following modules:<\/p>\nimport { AngularFireModule } from '@angular\/fire';\nimport { AngularFireAuthModule } from '@angular\/fire\/auth';\nimport { environment } from '..\/environments\/environment';\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThen, add AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase)<\/code> and AngularFireAuthModule<\/code> to the imports section of the @NgModule<\/code> decorator.<\/p>\nThe final app.module.ts<\/code> file should look like this:<\/p>\nimport { NgModule } from '@angular\/core';\nimport { BrowserModule } from '@angular\/platform-browser';\nimport { IonicModule } from '@ionic\/angular';\n\nimport { AppRoutingModule } from '.\/app-routing.module';\nimport { AppComponent } from '.\/app.component';\n\nimport { AngularFireModule } from '@angular\/fire';\nimport { AngularFireAuthModule } from '@angular\/fire\/auth';\nimport { environment } from '..\/environments\/environment';\n\n@NgModule({\n declarations: [AppComponent],\n entryComponents: [],\n imports: [\n BrowserModule,\n IonicModule.forRoot(),\n AppRoutingModule,\n AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase),\n AngularFireAuthModule,\n ],\n providers: [],\n bootstrap: [AppComponent],\n})\nexport class AppModule {}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nCreating the Authentication Service<\/h2>\n
Let’s create a service to handle user authentication. Run the following command to generate a new service:<\/p>\n
ionic generate service services\/authentication\n<\/code><\/pre>\nOpen the newly created src\/app\/services\/authentication.service.ts<\/code> file and replace the contents with the following code:<\/p>\nimport { Injectable } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { AngularFireAuth } from \"@angular\/fire\/auth\";\n\n@Injectable({\n providedIn: \"root\"\n})\nexport class AuthenticationService {\n constructor(private afAuth: AngularFireAuth) {}\n\n signup(email: string, password: string) {\n return this.afAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email, password);\n }\n\n login(email: string, password: string) {\n return this.afAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password);\n }\n\n logout() {\n return this.afAuth.signOut();\n }\n\n getCurrentUser() {\n return this.afAuth.user;\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nThis service provides methods for signing up, logging in, logging out, and getting the current user.<\/p>\n
Implementing the Authentication Flow<\/h2>\n
Now, let’s add the authentication flow to our app.<\/p>\n
Open the src\/app\/app.component.html<\/code> file and replace its contents with the following code:<\/p>\n<ion-app>\n <ion-router-outlet><\/ion-router-outlet>\n<\/ion-app>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, create a new file src\/app\/pages\/login\/login.page.html<\/code> and add the following code:<\/p>\n<ion-header>\n <ion-toolbar>\n <ion-title>Login<\/ion-title>\n <\/ion-toolbar>\n<\/ion-header>\n\n<ion-content>\n <ion-grid>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-label>Login to your account<\/ion-label>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-item>\n <ion-label position=\"floating\">Email<\/ion-label>\n <ion-input [(ngModel)]=\"email\" type=\"email\"><\/ion-input>\n <\/ion-item>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-item>\n <ion-label position=\"floating\">Password<\/ion-label>\n <ion-input [(ngModel)]=\"password\" type=\"password\"><\/ion-input>\n <\/ion-item>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-button expand=\"full\" (click)=\"login()\">Login<\/ion-button>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-button expand=\"full\" color=\"medium\" (click)=\"goToSignup()\">Don't have an account? Sign up<\/ion-button>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <\/ion-grid>\n<\/ion-content>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nCreate a new file src\/app\/pages\/login\/login.page.ts<\/code> and add the following code:<\/p>\nimport { Component, OnInit } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { Router } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { AuthenticationService } from \"..\/..\/services\/authentication.service\";\n\n@Component({\n selector: \"app-login\",\n templateUrl: \".\/login.page.html\",\n styleUrls: [\".\/login.page.scss\"],\n})\nexport class LoginPage implements OnInit {\n email: string;\n password: string;\n\n constructor(private authService: AuthenticationService, private router: Router) {}\n\n ngOnInit() {}\n\n login() {\n this.authService.login(this.email, this.password).then(() => {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/home\");\n });\n }\n\n goToSignup() {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/signup\");\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nSimilarly, create a new file src\/app\/pages\/signup\/signup.page.html<\/code> with the following content:<\/p>\n<ion-header>\n <ion-toolbar>\n <ion-title>Sign Up<\/ion-title>\n <\/ion-toolbar>\n<\/ion-header>\n\n<ion-content>\n <ion-grid>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-label>Create an account<\/ion-label>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-item>\n <ion-label position=\"floating\">Email<\/ion-label>\n <ion-input [(ngModel)]=\"email\" type=\"email\"><\/ion-input>\n <\/ion-item>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-item>\n <ion-label position=\"floating\">Password<\/ion-label>\n <ion-input [(ngModel)]=\"password\" type=\"password\"><\/ion-input>\n <\/ion-item>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-button expand=\"full\" (click)=\"signup()\">Sign Up<\/ion-button>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <ion-row>\n <ion-col size=\"12\" offset=\"0\" text-center>\n <ion-button expand=\"full\" color=\"medium\" (click)=\"goToLogin()\">Already have an account? Login<\/ion-button>\n <\/ion-col>\n <\/ion-row>\n <\/ion-grid>\n<\/ion-content>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn the src\/app\/pages\/signup\/signup.page.ts<\/code> file, add the following code:<\/p>\nimport { Component, OnInit } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { Router } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { AuthenticationService } from \"..\/..\/services\/authentication.service\";\n\n@Component({\n selector: \"app-signup\",\n templateUrl: \".\/signup.page.html\",\n styleUrls: [\".\/signup.page.scss\"],\n})\nexport class SignupPage implements OnInit {\n email: string;\n password: string;\n\n constructor(private authService: AuthenticationService, private router: Router) {}\n\n ngOnInit() {}\n\n signup() {\n this.authService.signup(this.email, this.password).then(() => {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/home\");\n });\n }\n\n goToLogin() {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/login\");\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow, let’s update the src\/app\/app-routing.module.ts<\/code> file to include the authentication routes. Replace its contents with:<\/p>\nimport { NgModule } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { RouterModule, Routes } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { LoginPage } from \".\/pages\/login\/login.page\";\nimport { SignupPage } from \".\/pages\/signup\/signup.page\";\n\nconst routes: Routes = [\n { path: \"\", redirectTo: \"login\", pathMatch: \"full\" },\n { path: \"login\", component: LoginPage },\n { path: \"signup\", component: SignupPage },\n];\n\n@NgModule({\n imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],\n exports: [RouterModule],\n})\nexport class AppRoutingModule {}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nLet’s update the src\/app\/app.component.ts<\/code> file to check if the user is logged in and route to the correct page. Replace its code with:<\/p>\nimport { Component } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { Router } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { AuthenticationService } from \".\/services\/authentication.service\";\nimport { User } from \"firebase\/app\";\n\n@Component({\n selector: \"app-root\",\n templateUrl: \"app.component.html\",\n styleUrls: [\"app.component.scss\"],\n})\nexport class AppComponent {\n currentUser: User;\n\n constructor(private authService: AuthenticationService, private router: Router) {\n this.authService.getCurrentUser().subscribe((user) => {\n this.currentUser = user;\n if (this.currentUser) {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/home\");\n } else {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/login\");\n }\n });\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow, if you run the app using ionic serve<\/code>, you should see the login page. You can sign up with a new account or log in with an existing account to proceed.<\/p>\nBuilding the Feed Page<\/h2>\n
Now that we have the authentication flow, let’s create the home page where users can see and interact with the feed.<\/p>\n
First, update the src\/app\/app-routing.module.ts<\/code> file to include a new route:<\/p>\nimport { NgModule } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { RouterModule, Routes } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { LoginPage } from \".\/pages\/login\/login.page\";\nimport { SignupPage } from \".\/pages\/signup\/signup.page\";\nimport { HomePage } from \".\/pages\/home\/home.page\";\n\nconst routes: Routes = [\n { path: \"\", redirectTo: \"login\", pathMatch: \"full\" },\n { path: \"login\", component: LoginPage },\n { path: \"signup\", component: SignupPage },\n { path: \"home\", component: HomePage },\n];\n\n@NgModule({\n imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],\n exports: [RouterModule],\n})\nexport class AppRoutingModule {}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, generate a new page for the home feed:<\/p>\n
ionic generate page pages\/home\n<\/code><\/pre>\nOpen the src\/app\/pages\/home\/home.page.html<\/code> file and replace the contents with the following code:<\/p>\n<ion-header>\n <ion-toolbar>\n <ion-title>Welcome to the Feed<\/ion-title>\n <\/ion-toolbar>\n<\/ion-header>\n\n<ion-content>\n <ion-button (click)=\"logout()\">Logout<\/ion-button>\n<\/ion-content>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn the src\/app\/pages\/home\/home.page.ts<\/code> file, add the following code:<\/p>\nimport { Component, OnInit } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { Router } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { AuthenticationService } from \"..\/..\/services\/authentication.service\";\n\n@Component({\n selector: \"app-home\",\n templateUrl: \".\/home.page.html\",\n styleUrls: [\".\/home.page.scss\"],\n})\nexport class HomePage implements OnInit {\n constructor(private authService: AuthenticationService, private router: Router) {}\n\n ngOnInit() {}\n\n logout() {\n this.authService.logout().then(() => {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/login\");\n });\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow, if you navigate to the \/home<\/code> route after logging in, you should see the feed page with a logout button.<\/p>\nAdding Firebase Realtime Database<\/h2>\n
To store and retrieve posts from our social media app, we’ll use Firebase Realtime Database.<\/p>\n
First, let’s install the required Firebase modules:<\/p>\n
npm install firebase @angular\/fire\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow, open the src\/app\/app.module.ts<\/code> file and import the following modules:<\/p>\nimport { AngularFireModule } from '@angular\/fire';\nimport { AngularFireAuthModule } from '@angular\/fire\/auth';\nimport { AngularFireDatabaseModule } from '@angular\/fire\/database';\nimport { environment } from '..\/environments\/environment';\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNext, add AngularFireDatabaseModule<\/code> to the imports section of the @NgModule<\/code> decorator.<\/p>\nThe final app.module.ts<\/code> file should look like this:<\/p>\nimport { NgModule } from '@angular\/core';\nimport { BrowserModule } from '@angular\/platform-browser';\nimport { IonicModule } from '@ionic\/angular';\n\nimport { AppRoutingModule } from '.\/app-routing.module';\nimport { AppComponent } from '.\/app.component';\n\nimport { AngularFireModule } from '@angular\/fire';\nimport { AngularFireAuthModule } from '@angular\/fire\/auth';\nimport { AngularFireDatabaseModule } from '@angular\/fire\/database';\nimport { environment } from '..\/environments\/environment';\n\n@NgModule({\n declarations: [AppComponent],\n entryComponents: [],\n imports: [\n BrowserModule,\n IonicModule.forRoot(),\n AppRoutingModule,\n AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase),\n AngularFireAuthModule,\n AngularFireDatabaseModule,\n ],\n providers: [],\n bootstrap: [AppComponent],\n})\nexport class AppModule {}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nBuilding the Post Service<\/h2>\n
Let’s create a service to handle CRUD operations for posts.<\/p>\n
Run the following command to generate a new service:<\/p>\n
ionic generate service services\/post\n<\/code><\/pre>\nOpen the src\/app\/services\/post.service.ts<\/code> file and replace the contents with the following code:<\/p>\nimport { Injectable } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { AngularFireDatabase } from \"@angular\/fire\/database\";\nimport { Observable } from \"rxjs\";\n\n@Injectable({\n providedIn: \"root\",\n})\nexport class PostService {\n constructor(private db: AngularFireDatabase) {}\n\n createPost(post: any) {\n return this.db.list(\"posts\").push(post);\n }\n\n getPosts(): Observable<any[]> {\n return this.db.list(\"posts\").valueChanges();\n }\n\n updatePost(postId: string, update: any) {\n return this.db.object(`posts\/${postId}`).update(update);\n }\n\n deletePost(postId: string) {\n return this.db.object(`posts\/${postId}`).remove();\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nCreating the Post Form<\/h2>\n
Now, let’s create a form to allow users to create posts.<\/p>\n
Open the src\/app\/pages\/home\/home.page.html<\/code> file and replace its contents with the following code:<\/p>\n<ion-header>\n <ion-toolbar>\n <ion-title>Welcome to the Feed<\/ion-title>\n <\/ion-toolbar>\n<\/ion-header>\n\n<ion-content>\n <ion-button (click)=\"logout()\">Logout<\/ion-button>\n\n <form (submit)=\"createPost()\">\n <ion-item>\n <ion-label position=\"floating\">Post Content<\/ion-label>\n <ion-textarea [(ngModel)]=\"postContent\" required><\/ion-textarea>\n <\/ion-item>\n <ion-button expand=\"full\" type=\"submit\">Create Post<\/ion-button>\n <\/form>\n\n <ion-list>\n <ion-item-sliding *ngFor=\"let post of posts\">\n <ion-item>\n <ion-label>{{ post.content }}<\/ion-label>\n <\/ion-item>\n <ion-item-options>\n <ion-item-option color=\"danger\" (click)=\"deletePost(post.key)\">\n Delete\n <\/ion-item-option>\n <\/ion-item-options>\n <\/ion-item-sliding>\n <\/ion-list>\n<\/ion-content>\n<\/code><\/pre>\nIn the src\/app\/pages\/home\/home.page.ts<\/code> file, add the following code:<\/p>\nimport { Component, OnInit } from \"@angular\/core\";\nimport { Router } from \"@angular\/router\";\nimport { AuthenticationService } from \"..\/..\/services\/authentication.service\";\nimport { PostService } from \"..\/..\/services\/post.service\";\n\n@Component({\n selector: \"app-home\",\n templateUrl: \".\/home.page.html\",\n styleUrls: [\".\/home.page.scss\"],\n})\nexport class HomePage implements OnInit {\n postContent: string;\n posts: any[];\n\n constructor(\n private authService: AuthenticationService,\n private router: Router,\n private postService: PostService\n ) {}\n\n ngOnInit() {\n this.fetchPosts();\n }\n\n fetchPosts() {\n this.postService.getPosts().subscribe((posts) => {\n this.posts = posts;\n });\n }\n\n createPost() {\n const post = {\n content: this.postContent,\n };\n\n this.postService.createPost(post).then(() => {\n this.fetchPosts();\n this.postContent = \"\";\n });\n }\n\n deletePost(postId: string) {\n this.postService.deletePost(postId).then(() => {\n this.fetchPosts();\n });\n }\n\n logout() {\n this.authService.logout().then(() => {\n this.router.navigateByUrl(\"\/login\");\n });\n }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\nNow, if you navigate to the home page after logging in, you should see a form to create new posts and a section to display and delete posts.<\/p>\n
Building the Profile Page<\/h2>\n
Finally, let’s create a profile page to display and update user information.<\/p>\n
Run the following command to generate a new page:<\/p>\n
ionic generate page pages\/profile\n<\/code><\/pre>\nOpen the src\/app\/app-routing.module.ts<\/code> file and import the ProfilePage<\/code> and add a new route:<\/p>\n“`typescript
\nimport { NgModule } from “@angular\/core”;
\nimport { RouterModule, Routes } from “@angular\/router”;
\nimport { LoginPage } from “.\/pages\/login\/login.page”;
\nimport { SignupPage } from “.\/pages\/signup\/signup.page”;
\nimport { HomePage } from “.\/pages\/home\/home.page”;
\nimport { ProfilePage } from “.\/pages\/profile\/profile.page”;<\/p>\n
const routes: Routes = [
\n { path: “”, redirectTo: “login”, pathMatch: “full” },
