Step 10: Then you have to add firebase SDK(Software Development Kit) to your react app using this command in the terminal of your project directory. You can use VsCode terminal or windows console. Here I used VsCode terminal.

npm install firebase

Step 11: Initialize Firebase and begin using the SDKs . Import the functions you need from the SDKs **. [Create a file named ex: (firebase.init.js** )inside the src **folder in your react application]
copy the code and paste it in the **firebase.init.js
file. [note: I changed the config info for security reason, this config file should not disclose in public]

Do not forget to export app at end of the code inside the firebase.init.js. export default app;

// Import the functions you need from the SDKs you need
import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
// TODO: Add SDKs for Firebase products that you want to use
// https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup#available-libraries

// Your web app's Firebase configuration
const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "Acvz33SyBrd-adTcvxZkGHrQe8Vp58w-rXpmdkV0sg",

Step 23-a: Create an instance of the Google provider object. Import this google provider in your project file inside the src *folder *( ex: app.js).

import { GoogleAuthProvider } from "firebase/auth";

const provider = new GoogleAuthProvider();

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-b: Import **getAuth** from **firebase/auth** inside the **app.js** file.

import { getAuth } from "firebase/auth";

const auth = getAuth();

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-c: Import **signInWithPopup** from **firebase/auth** inside the app.js file and pass the **auth** and **provider** parameter.

signInWithPopup(auth, provider)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-d: Add a onClick handler inside the **App()** function. And pass this handler in Sign-in button.

  const hadleGoogleSignIn = () => {

  }

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-e: Write the following code inside the **App()** function with useState() hook **const [user, setUser] = useState({});** where useris state value and setUseris a state function. This block of code will be inside the hadleGoogleSignIn onClick handler function.

signInWithPopup(auth, provider)
  .then((result) => {
    const user = result.user;
    setUser(user);
    console.log(user)

  }).catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
  });

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-f: Put this above block of code inside the **hadleGoogleSignIn **onClick handler function.

const hadleGoogleSignIn = () => {
signInWithPopup(auth, provider)

  .then((result) => {
    const user = result.user;
    setUser(user);
    console.log(user)

  }).catch((error) => {
  console.log(error);
  });

 }

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-g: Add **SignOut** onClick handler inside the App() function. Also import signOut from **firebase/auth.**.

  const handleSignOut = () => {
    signOut(auth)
      .then(() => {
        setUser({});
      })
      .catch(error => {
        setUser({});
      })
  }

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 23-h: Finally return the data on the UI for display . this block of code will be inside the **App()** function.

  return (
    <div className="App">
      {
        user.email ? <button onClick={handleSignOut}>Sign Out</button> :
            <button onClick={hadleGoogleSignIn}>Sign in With Google</button>
      }
      <div>
        <h3>{user.displayName}</h3>
        <h5>{user.email}</h5>
        <img src={user.photoURL} alt="" />
