Getting Started ON Developing AskaDEV!

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Jsonbourne-dev/Askadev.dev.git

2. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

befor we do anything else you need to get your firebase auth keys

🔑 Firebase Authentication Setup

We use Firebase Authentication for user management in our application. To get started with development, you'll need to set up your Firebase project and obtain your API keys. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Create a Firebase Project

1. Go to the Firebase Console.
2. Click on Get Started and sign in with your Google account if prompted.
3. Click on Add project to create a new Firebase project.
4. Enter a name for your project and follow the prompts to set up your project.

Step 2: Enable Authentication

1. Once your project is created, navigate to the Authentication section in the left-hand menu.
2. Click on Get Started to enable the authentication module.
3. Under the Sign-in method tab, choose the authentication methods you want to enable (e.g., Email/Password, Google Sign-In, etc.).
4. Click Save after enabling the methods you want.

Step 3: Get Your API Keys

1. Navigate to the Project settings (gear icon) in the left-hand menu.
2. Under the General tab, scroll down to the Your apps section.
3. Click on Add app to create a web app if you haven't done so.
4. Follow the prompts to register your app.
5. After registration, you'll see your Firebase SDK snippet, which includes your API keys. Copy the configuration object, which looks something like this:

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
  projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
  storageBucket: "YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET",
  messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID",
  appId: "YOUR_APP_ID"
};

1. Initialize Firebase in your application. In your in the firebase directory create a .env file with the generated keys:

apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
authDomain: "YOUR_AUTH_DOMAIN",
projectId: "YOUR_PROJECT_ID",
storageBucket: "YOUR_STORAGE_BUCKET",
messagingSenderId: "YOUR_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID",
appId: "YOUR_APP_ID"

3. Start the Application:

   npm start

4. To open the Cypress test runner, use the following command:

   yarn cypress open
