Hosting a Nuxt.js universal application can seem overwhelming, but with Firebase’s robust platform, it becomes a straightforward process. This article guides you through obtaining a Firebase Project and deploying your Nuxt app swiftly. So, roll up your sleeves; let’s dive in!

Pre-Setup: Before Installing Any Dependencies

Before diving into installation and setup, there are a few preliminary steps you need to follow:

• Obtain a Firebase Project ID to use for this project. You can see an overview here.
• Inside your project directory, locate the file .setup-firebaserc and replace the text your-project-id with your Firebase Project ID.

Setup: Deploy in 3 Commands

Once you have completed the pre-setup steps, it’s time to get everything set up and deployed. All the following commands should be run from the root directory of your project:

• 1. Install Dependencies: Run the command to install all necessary dependencies and create .firebaserc from .setup-firebaserc.

yarn

• 2. Build The Project: Now, you’ll build your project by running this command.

yarn build

• 3. Deploy To Firebase: Finally, deploy your app to Firebase Hosting using this command.

yarn deploy

Your site should now be live!

Firebase Project Setup

To create and configure your Firebase project, follow these steps:

• Create a Firebase Project using the Firebase Console.
• Obtain your Firebase Project ID.

Features to Look Forward To

• Server-side rendering with Firebase Hosting combined with Firebase Functions
• Firebase Hosting serves as your CDN for your publicPath (check your nuxt.config.js file).

Things to Know…

• You need to have the Firebase CLI installed. If not, you can install it with the command npm install -g firebase-tools and then configure it using firebase login.
• If you encounter errors, ensure that your firebase-tools package is up to date. Many problems can be resolved by simply updating.
• The root directory contains a package.json file with several scripts that facilitate and optimize your workflow.
• ALL commands should be executed from the root directory.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues during your setup, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure all dependencies are properly installed by running yarn again.
• Verify that your Firebase Project ID is correctly set in the .firebaserc file.
• Run firebase --version to check whether your Firebase CLI is up to date.
• If you see specific error messages, make sure to check Firebase’s documentation for guidance related to those errors.
