Benefits of Subcollections in Firebase
Benefits: Better Data Organization – You can create logical hierarchies that mirror real-world relationships (e.g., users → posts → comments) Improved Query Performance – Queries on subcollections are scoped to that specific parent document, making them faster and more efficient Granular Security Rules – You can set different access permissions for subcollections, allowing fine-grained security… Continue reading Benefits of Subcollections in Firebase
Building Cloud Functions as Services for Firestore in Firebase
Building Cloud Functions as Services for Firestore in Firebase In the world of serverless development, Firebase has revolutionized how we build scalable apps with its seamless integration of authentication, real-time databases, and hosting. At the heart of many Firebase projects lies Firestore, a NoSQL document database that excels at handling structured data with real-time synchronization.… Continue reading Building Cloud Functions as Services for Firestore in Firebase
DevOps CI/CD?
CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (or sometimes Continuous Delivery). It’s a set of practices and tools used to automate the process of building, testing, and deploying your code, making development faster and more reliable Continuous Integration (CI): This is about frequently merging your code changes into a shared repository (e.g., GitHub). Each… Continue reading DevOps CI/CD?
DocumentReference in Firebase / Nextjs
What is it? A DocumentReference is a Firestore object that points to a specific document in a collection, like /users/abc123. It’s used to link related documents instead of duplicating data, keeping things consistent and storage-efficient. How it’s created? We use the doc() function from firebase/firestore, e.g., doc(db, ‘collectionName’, ‘documentId’). Why use it? It enables relational… Continue reading DocumentReference in Firebase / Nextjs
How to Build a Forum App with NextJs and Strapi CMS
Prerequisites Node.js installed Knowledge of NextJs To set up our Strapi back-end, we will first create a directory for our project: 1 mkdir forumapp This creates a folder for our project strapi-forum. Next, we move into this folder: 1 cd forumapp Then we install Strapi: npm create strapi-app forum-backend –quickstart The command above sets up… Continue reading How to Build a Forum App with NextJs and Strapi CMS
Server Actions and React Server Components: Rethinking State in Next.js
Next.js supports React Server Components (RSC) and Server Actions, enabling a shift from client-heavy interactivity to server-driven rendering and logic. Key Topics: What are React Server Components (RSC)? How Server Actions replace client-side mutations Form submissions without client-side JavaScript Pros and cons: performance vs flexibility Ideal Audience: Advanced React/Next.js develop With the release of Next.js… Continue reading Server Actions and React Server Components: Rethinking State in Next.js
Authentication in Next.js 14 Using NextAuth.js and Middleware
Managing authentication in Next.js can be complex. This guide shows how to integrate NextAuth.js with the App Router, securing both pages and API routes using middleware. Key Topics: Setting up NextAuth.js with credentials or OAuth providers Using middleware for route protection (middleware.ts) Token management with JWT sessions UI-based login flows with React and TailwindCSS Ideal… Continue reading Authentication in Next.js 14 Using NextAuth.js and Middleware
Building Scalable APIs with Next.js App Router
Next.js has revolutionized modern web development by blending the best of server–side and client–side rendering. One of the most significant changes introduced with the App Router is the transformation of how API routes are defined, structured, and deployed. With Next.js 14, developers can now build robust, RESTful, and scalable APIs directly inside the /app directory,… Continue reading Building Scalable APIs with Next.js App Router
