Learn Firebase, Jasmine and Particle

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

🔥 Firebase provides several easy-to-use authentication methods that we can use to handle auth in React apps. 

In this lesson, we will cover how to authenticate a user via an email and password. This is done using `createUserWithEmailAndPassword` function available to us from the `firebase` library. 

You'll need firebase configured in your application which you can [read about here.](https://dev.to/farazamiruddin/react-firebase-add-firebase-to-a-react-app-4nc9)

In this lesson Trevor looks at testing AngularJS controllers with scope inheritance with Jasmine and test spies.

Testing Controllers With Dependencies

The Firebase Forge provides a convenient GUI for visualizing and manipulating your data in real-time. Be sure to check out [this lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-get-started-with-firebase-and-angularfire) for getting Firebase setup.

When using Firebase collections in your AngularJS application, you have access to a handy set of events emitted by the collection when changes in your data occur. Be sure to check out the [first lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/angularjs-get-started-with-firebase-and-angularfire) in this series for the project source code.

Testing is a first class citizen in AngularJS. It is at its heart and soul. This lesson demonstrates using Karma to write a simple unit test for a Filter.

Unit Testing AngularJS

Unit testing a React component using Webpack and Jasmine, can involve slow and repetitive tasks when confirming that tests are passing when your code changes. For example, manually running commands instructing webpack to compile code plus refreshing the browser. This lesson demonstrates how to speed up your development time by automating these tasks using webpack-dev-server.

Reloading React component tests using webpack-dev-server

React becomes incredibly powerful when coupled with a real-time backend like Firebase. See how easy it is to bring the two together and chat with Star Wars characters while you're at it.

Using Jasmine, this lesson will look at testing an AngularJS service.

Testing a Service

Authenticating with Firebase creates a 24 hour session for the user. This allows you to fetch the current session for the user, as well as logout the user and destroy the session.
