Firebase Project Setup

- Click on Visit Console to open your project console.
- Click on Add Project to create your new project and assign a name for it.
- Now go to Hosting in your Project Overview and click the Get Started button.
- Switch to your system console/terminal and run

(make sure that Node.js is installed on your system).
- Click continue on the Firebase setup wizard then go back to your console and type in

. You will be given an URL to set up the necessary permissions for the Firebase CLI on your Gmail account.
Preparing your Gatsby Website
- Download a Gatsby Starter.
- Run a
npm install
andgatsby build
inside the Starter folder (make sure that you have the Gatsby-Cli installed on your system). - And there run the command
firebase init
and go to Hosting by using your ARROW keys and select it with SPACE and ENTER.
- You will now be asked which Firebase project this code belongs to. Select the project name that you have chosen in the Firebase Project Setup.
- Gatsby created your static site content inside the
.\public
folder - set the Firebase Project public directory to this folder. - Since Gatsby generates routes for each page, choose not to rewrite URLs to index.html.
Testing and Deployment

firebase serve
- you site will be hosted onhttp://localhost:5000
. - If everything looks fine run
firebase deploy
to upload the content of your public folder to firebase. - You will be able to access your website from the Hosting URL or configure it from the Project Console.
