FAQs

1. Do I need to purchase Blaze plan to run the app ?

Answer -

No, you don't need to purchase Blaze plan to run the app. You need to purchase it only if you want to deploy firebase cloud functions.

2. npm install command is not executing successfully in my system.

Answer -

First of all make sure that your are using version 14 of node. If the problem still persists try npm install --legacy-peer-deps.

3. Login/Signup is not working.

Solution :-

This problem generally arises when you have not setuped/started the Firebase emulators.

1. Setup firebase emulator.
2. Start the Emulators
3. Run the app using npm run dev.

📝NOTE : Remember to start the emulators before running the app.

• To start emulators - firebase emulators:start --import=firebase.json --project <your-project-id>.
  
• In some case all the emulator will not start. So you can execute a separate command for a particular emulator
  For example if auth emulator is not starting you can use this command -
  firebase emulators:start --import=firebase.json --project <your-project-id> --only auth.

4. I am creating new account and it says that confirmation mail is sent to my email but I didn't got any mail.

Answer :-

This feature is not implemented completely and we are currently working on this. If you still want to login/signup, you can try login/signup with google option.

5. I have done the environment setup, but when I start the app it is showing white/blank screen.

Solution :-

This problem can arise in multiple scenarios :-

1. Check the browser console and see what error are you getting there and try to fix it.
2. Make sure that you have created .env file and placed all values to the keys.
3. In some cases it can also arise due to any active ad-blocker extension in your browser. So make sure to turn it off.

Solution :-

The Make Command Not Found error indicates that the make utility is either not installed on the system or it’s not present in the PATH variable.
