Django & Firebase - A marriage of awesomeness

Requirements

1) Django (obviously)

2) Pyrebase (pip install pyrebase, you know the drill)

So to give a better appreciation- I will first show you the HTML way then I'll proceed to show you how its done in Python.

METHOD 1 : The HTML way

Then you need to go to the firebase console. To setup a new project. After that you will see a web setup and you select that. Once selected you will see the config. It should be similar to this :

	<script src="https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/4.6.1/firebase.js"></script>
	<script>
	// Initialize Firebase
	// TODO: Replace with your project's customized code snippet
	var config = {
	apiKey: "<API_KEY>",
	authDomain: "<PROJECT_ID>.firebaseapp.com",
	databaseURL: "https://<DATABASE_NAME>.firebaseio.com",
	storageBucket: "<BUCKET>.appspot.com",
	messagingSenderId: "<SENDER_ID>",
	};
	firebase.initializeApp(config);
	</script>

Now that you have configured firebase, we now need to select the components which will be needed. depending on what you want for your app- you can now select the modules that you need. For us today, we will do the login authentication. Make sure you include firebase app first, so this is my screen:



METHOD 2: Enter Python
Open your dev environment and create a file named pyrebase_settings within your django app folder. In it, you will have the following:


Now, lets go to views.py!
