@firebase/app-compat
Advanced tools
This is the compatibility layer for the Firebase App package, which recreates the v8 API.
This package is not intended for direct usage, and should only be used via the officially supported firebase package.
The 'firebase' package is the traditional, non-modular SDK for Firebase. It provides a similar API surface to @firebase/app-compat but is designed for use with Firebase SDK versions 8 and below. Developers using this package would not have access to the tree-shaking and modular features of the newer Firebase SDK.
The 'react-firebase-hooks' package provides a set of reusable React hooks for Firebase. It simplifies the process of connecting a React application to Firebase services. While it offers a different approach by leveraging React's hooks, it provides similar functionalities for authentication, database, and firestore interactions.
The '@angular/fire' package is the official library for Firebase and Angular integration. It provides services and utilities to connect Angular applications with Firebase features. Like @firebase/app-compat, it abstracts Firebase interactions but is specifically tailored for Angular applications.
