How can I fetch data from Firebase in a React app?

You can use the Firebase SDK along with React hooks to fetch data. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example.

Sure! First, install Firebase and initialize it in your app. Then, use the useEffect hook to fetch data like this:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { db } from './firebase'; // your firebase config

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [data, setData] = useState([]);

  useEffect(() => {
    const fetchData = async () => {
      const response = await db.collection('yourCollection').get();
      setData(response.docs.map(doc => doc.data()));
    };
    fetchData();
  }, []);

  return <div>{JSON.stringify(data)}</div>;
};

This will fetch data from your specified collection.

What if I want to listen for real-time updates?

You can use the onSnapshot method instead of get(). It will listen for real-time updates like this:

useEffect(() => {
  const unsubscribe = db.collection('yourCollection').onSnapshot(snapshot => {
    const newData = snapshot.docs.map(doc => doc.data());
    setData(newData);
  });
  return () => unsubscribe(); // Cleanup on unmount
}, []);
