I'm new to react-native and JS. My project is a chat app and I'm trying to create button that onPress creating new chat, using the following function:
const createChat = async () =>{
await db
.collection("chats")
.add({
chatName: input,
})
.then(() => {
navigation.goBack();
})
.catch((error) => alert(error));
}
this my firebase.js file:
import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app';
import 'firebase/compat/auth';
import 'firebase/compat/firestore';
import 'firebase/compat/database';
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: "*",
authDomain: "*",
projectId: "*",
storageBucket: "*",
messagingSenderId: "*",
appId: "*",
measurementId: "*"
};
let app;
if (firebase.apps.length === 0){
app = firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
} else {
app = firebase.app();
}
const db = firebase.app();
const auth = firebase.auth();
export {db , auth};

const db = firebase.app(); // an instance of FirebaseApp
should be
const db = firebase.firestore(); // an instance of Firestore
Instead of learning using the compatibility library, consider learning the new Modular SDK instead as this will be the way forward.
