Comparison to react-native-firebase

[patrickdevivo]

Does anyone know of a write-up or know offhand of notable differences between this package and this: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase ?

I've been using react-native-firestack for some time now, but am bumping into some issues where .startAt() doesn't seem to work properly, and I wonder if react-native-firebase is more frequently maintained

Thanks!

You should take a look at http://invertase.io/react-native-firebase/#/faqs?id=comparison-to-firestack.

@patrickdevivo @mike623 @mmmoussa hey all, one of the authors of RNFirebase here, the link @mmmoussa provided sums it up really, but to add to it:

• It's a re-write from the ground up - it matches the firebase web SDK to the letter and it's well tested with a custom testing app. This repo has a ton of bugs / issues and the api is unruly in terms of no correlation between it and the official firebase web sdk.
• It's well supported and documented, issues are answered daily and work is done on it daily. All 3 co-authors (myself included) are active on slack, gitter and discord answering questions daily -
  whereas this repo has long since been abandoned by it's authors.
• Minimal disparity between platforms, features are built and tested on both android and ios before getting released. For example we now have remote config, transactions, perf-mon, analytics, crash, full fcm implementation and more in addition to the current firestack feature set.
• Authors actively working to provide the majority of the firebase feature set - for example we're working on admob for v2 release and have Banners and Interstitials working.

Have nothing against firestack - it's just in a really bad state and has been abandoned like that - you'll find the majority of the commits for v3 version of firestack was done by myself - so it's not like we didn't try =]
