## What it is
A React starter/boilerplate project implementing full authentication with Firebase, including sign in/up/out, password management, social logins, and role-based protected routes. It accompanies Robin Wieruch's Firebase authentication tutorial and is dual-licensed (GPLv3 open source or commercial).

## Use cases
- add firebase authentication to a react app
- boilerplate for sign up sign in with firebase
- implement protected routes with role-based authorization in react
- social login with google facebook twitter in react
- password reset and email verification flow example
- learn firebase authentication with react tutorial

## When to choose
- starting a new React app that needs Firebase auth out of the box
- learning how Firebase auth integrates with React Router
- needing a reference for social logins and role-based authorization

## When to avoid
- you need a permissive MIT/Apache license for proprietary use without paying
- you use a backend other than Firebase
- you need actively maintained dependencies (last release 2022, older React Router v4)

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: auth, authorization
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: react, firebase, authentication, boilerplate, react-router, protected-routes, social-login, dual-license, boilerplate, nodejs, web-server
