## What it is
ReactFire is a TypeScript library of hooks, context providers, and components that simplify interacting with the Firebase Web SDK in React web apps. It provides realtime subscriptions, safe SDK initialization, and optional React Suspense support.

## Use cases
- subscribe to firestore collections in react components
- use firebase auth state with react hooks
- initialize firestore settings before data fetches in react
- load firebase data with react suspense
- access firebase sdk instances from any react component

## When to choose
- building a React web app backed by Firebase
- you want realtime data subscriptions with automatic cleanup
- you prefer Suspense-based loading states

## When to avoid
- building a React Native or Expo app (use react-native-firebase)
- your project does not use Firebase
- you need a framework-agnostic Firebase wrapper
