Linkedin-for-School-students

This is a web app for school students built using react.js and firebase. Creating a LinkedIn-like app for school students using React and Firebase involves a series of steps, including setting up your development environment, designing the user interface, handling user authentication, and connecting to a Firebase backend. Below is a simplified guide to get you started:

1. Set Up Your Development Environment: Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed. Create a new React app using Create React App: npx create-react-app linkedin-school-app cd linkedin-school-app Design Your User Interface: Plan and design the components you'll need for user profiles, news feed, messaging, etc. Use React components and styling libraries (e.g., styled-components) to create a visually appealing UI. Set Up Firebase: Create a Firebase project on the Firebase Console. Obtain your Firebase project configuration (Settings > General > Your apps > Firebase SDK snippet > Config) Integrate Firebase in Your React App: Install the Firebase SDK: npm install firebase // src/firebase.js import firebase from 'firebase/app'; import 'firebase/auth'; import 'firebase/firestore';

const firebaseConfig = { // Your Firebase project configuration };

firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

export const auth = firebase.auth(); export const firestore = firebase.firestore(); Implement User Authentication: Create components for login, registration, and user profile.

Use Firebase authentication to handle user sign-up, login, and logout: // Example of a login component import React, { useState } from 'react'; import { auth } from '../firebase';

const Login = () => { const [email, setEmail] = useState(''); const [password, setPassword] = useState('');

const handleLogin = async () => { try { await auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password); // Handle successful login } catch (error) { // Handle login error } };

return (

<input type="email" value={email} onChange={(e) => setEmail(e.target.value)} /> <input type="password" value={password} onChange={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)} /> Login

); };

export default Login; Create Firebase Firestore Collections: Set up Firebase Firestore collections for user profiles, posts, messages, etc. // src/firebase.js import { firestore } from './firebase';

export const createUserProfileDocument = async (userAuth, additionalData) => { if (!userAuth) return;

const userRef = firestore.doc(users/${userAuth.uid}); const snapshot = await userRef.get();

if (!snapshot.exists) { const { displayName, email } = userAuth; const createdAt = new Date();

try {
  await userRef.set({
    displayName,
    email,
    createdAt,
    ...additionalData,
  });
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error creating user', error.message);
}

}

return userRef; };
