## What it is
AngularFire is the official Angular library wrapping the Firebase JS SDK, exposing Firebase services (Firestore, Realtime Database, Auth, Analytics, Cloud Messaging, etc.) through Angular-idiomatic dependency injection and RxJS observables. It includes schematics for setup and deployment, router guards for auth, zone-aware wrappers, and lazy-loading of Firebase modules.

## Use cases
- add firebase authentication to an angular app
- bind firestore collections to angular components with observables
- guard angular routes based on firebase auth state
- deploy an angular app to firebase hosting with one command
- use firebase realtime database with rxjs streams
- send push notifications with firebase cloud messaging in angular
- track page views in google analytics via the angular router
- server-side render an angular app backed by firebase

## When to choose
- you are building an Angular application backed by Firebase services
- you want RxJS-observable bindings to Firestore or Realtime Database
- you need Firebase auth integrated with Angular router guards
- you want NgRx-friendly action-based APIs over Firebase data
- you want SSR-compatible, zone-aware Firebase integration

## When to avoid
- you use React, Vue, or another non-Angular framework
- you use a backend other than Firebase
- you need direct low-level control of the Firebase JS SDK without Angular abstractions
- your project does not use RxJS or Angular dependency injection conventions
