Builds

Most commonly people consume react-google-button as a CommonJS module. This module is what you get when you import redux in a Webpack, Browserify, or a Node environment.

If you don't use a module bundler, it's also fine. The react-google-button npm package includes precompiled production and development UMD builds in the dist folder. They can be used directly without a bundler and are thus compatible with many popular JavaScript module loaders and environments. For example, you can drop a UMD build as a <script> tag on the page. The UMD builds make Redux Firestore available as a window.ReduxFirestore global variable.

It can be imported like so:

<script src="../node_modules/react-google-button/dist/react-google-button.min.js"></script>
<!-- or through cdn: <script src="https://unpkg.com/react-google-button@latest/dist/react-google-button.min.js"></script> -->
<script>console.log('redux firestore:', window.ReactGoogleButton)</script>

Note: In an effort to keep things simple, the wording from this explanation was modeled after the installation section of the Redux Docs.
