Key Points for the Visual Image:
- Frontend (JavaScript): Handles input forms (email/password).
- Firebase Authentication: Provides secure login/signup, password reset, and user management.
- Database (Firebase Firestore/Realtime DB): Stores user data if needed.
- Steps:
- Create a Firebase project.
- Add Firebase SDK to your project.
- Build signup & login forms with JavaScript.
- Use Firebase Auth methods (
createUserWithEmailAndPassword,signInWithEmailAndPassword). - Add authentication state persistence.
- Deploy & secure your app
🌐 Building a Login System with JavaScript & Firebase
🔹 Why Firebase?
- Pre-built authentication system.
- Supports Email/Password, Google, Facebook, GitHub logins.
- Scalable and secure.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Breakdown
1. Setup Firebase Project
- Go to Firebase Console.
- Create a new project.
- Enable Authentication (Email/Password or social logins).
2. Add Firebase to Your Web App
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/10.0.0/firebase-app.js"></script>
<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/10.0.0/firebase-auth.js"></script>
- Configure with your Firebase keys.
3. Create Signup & Login Forms
<input type="email" id="email" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" id="password" placeholder="Password">
<button onclick="signup()">Sign Up</button>
<button onclick="login()">Login</button>
4. Use Firebase Auth Methods
import { getAuth, createUserWithEmailAndPassword, signInWithEmailAndPassword } from "firebase/auth";
const auth = getAuth();
// Signup
function signup() {
createUserWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email.value, password.value)
.then(user => console.log("User Created:", user))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
}
// Login
function login() {
signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email.value, password.value)
.then(user => console.log("Logged in:", user))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
}
5. Authentication State Listener
onAuthStateChanged(auth, user => {
if (user) {
console.log("User is logged in:", user.email);
} else {
console.log("No user is logged in");
}
});
6. (Optional) Add Firestore/Realtime DB
- Store user profiles, preferences, or activity logs.
7. Deploy Your App
- Use Firebase Hosting, Netlify, or Vercel.
