Firebase Setup (For Anyone Cloning This Repo)

This project uses Firebase, but your own Firebase project must be connected when you clone the repo. For security reasons, the file firebase_options.dart is not included in the repository.

Follow these steps to generate your own configuration file.

1. Install Firebase CLI if you don’t already have it:

npm install -g firebase-tools

Login:

firebase login

2. Install FlutterFire CLI

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli

Verify the installation:

flutterfire --version

3. Create a Firebase Project if you don’t have one

Go to: https://console.firebase.google.com/ Create a new project, then add an iOS, Android, or Web app depending on your project requirements.

4. Generate firebase_options.dart

From the root of the Flutter project, run:

flutterfire configure

This will:

• Detect your Firebase project
• Ask which platforms you want to configure
• Generate lib/firebase_options.dart

flutter run

Your project is now connected to your own Firebase backend.
