Connect **your own** Firebase project so your site can use **Firestore**, **Authentication**,
and **Cloud Storage**.

## Setup

In **Settings → Connectors → Firebase**, paste your **web config** (Firebase console → Project
settings → Your apps → Web):

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| **apiKey**, **authDomain**, **projectId**, **appId** | From the Firebase web config object. |
| **storageBucket** *(optional)* | Needed for Cloud Storage uploads. |
| **Service account** *(optional secret)* | Lets Genesis deploy Firestore security rules for you. |

:::note
The web config is **public by design** — security comes from your **Firestore Security
Rules**. Genesis can help you write and deploy them.
:::

## Example prompts

```text
[Firebase: store contact submissions in a Firestore "leads" collection]
[Firebase: add email/password sign-up and login]
[Firebase: let users upload images to Cloud Storage]
[Firebase: show new comments live as they're added]
```

Genesis writes the Firebase SDK code, so you get real Firestore reads/writes, auth, and
realtime `onSnapshot` updates.

## Use cases

- A **Firestore-backed** form or app.
- **User sign-up / login**.
- **File uploads** to Cloud Storage.
- **Live updates** (realtime listeners).

Republish your site after configuring.
