Prerequisites

Before diving into development, you need to enable Google Sign-In in your Firebase console. Here’s how:

• In the Firebase console, open the Auth section.
• On the Sign-in method tab, enable the Google sign-in method and click Save.

Next, add your Firebase configuration in the `.env` file located at the root of the project. The details can be found on the Firebase console.

Setting Up Your Development Environment

Once you have the project set up and dependencies installed, starting the development server is a breeze:

npm install
npm run dev

If you want to start the server and automatically open the app in your browser, you can do:

npm run dev -- --open

Building for Production

Before you create a production version of your app, ensure to install an adapter suitable for your target environment. To build your application, run:
