hi you all,

I'm trying to start up a simple javascript web project using the firebase database,

and I made all the requirements steps according to this https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup?authuser=0 tutorial,

and added to my html file this to the header:

___________________________________________________________________________

<head>

</head>

___________________________________________________________________________

and to my js file:

___________________________________________________________________________

var firebaseConfig = {

apiKey: "AIzaSyDxIc5z4g3xUu01Du5_rKm5eKPUSQIfoZg",

authDomain: "eko-home-assignment-6e3a2.firebaseapp.com",

databaseURL: "https://eko-home-assignment-6e3a2.firebaseio.com",

projectId: "eko-home-assignment-6e3a2",

storageBucket: "",

messagingSenderId: "189458946837",

appId: "1:189458946837:web:95614c48d4ae8871"

};

// Initialize Firebase

firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);

// Get a reference to the database service

var database = firebase.database();

___________________________________________________________________________

and when I run the app on my http-server localhost on chrome I get:

player.js:24 Uncaught ReferenceError: firebase is not defined

at player.js:24

what am I doing wrong?

just so you know I managed to do the "firebase init" command and didn't manage to do "firebase deploy" and also didn't do hosting during the installation steps.

thanks a lot,

Yael

Hi Yael,

Is your JS script also deferred? If not, then you may need to remove the defer in your script tags. My guess here is that Firebase hasn't downloaded and initialized at the point that you try to access.
