This is an awesome tutorial on how to create a chat app using react native. Great use of Gifted chat plugin for UI. The setup and integration of Firebase backend is very informative as well. The development ecosystem is Expo here but we can easily migrate to React Native CLI. Great stepwise tutorial which covers the Firebase integration and configuration in detail. We can integrate the Firebase backend in other React Native Chat App templates out there as well. This will make the UI development simpler with more time spent on functionality rather than UI.
