Setup Firebase (Google Analytics) with Ionic V1

ionic-v1

Hello Good People of Ionic,

I am working on an Ionic V1 application and Google is now pushing everyone to use Firebase rather than the standard Google Analytics as of October 2019… Is there a tutorial out there for setting up Firebase with Ionic V1?

I can find recent documentation for V3, but the project structure is very different so I am confused about how to implement.

I am a beginner with app development. Any insights would be very appreciated!

Thanks,

Matt

Hey mikrochipkid,

Thank you for your response. It seems like Google has taken control of Firebase so this tutorial is a little behind what Firebase looks like now. I appreciate the help though; I don’t think this tutorial will work at this point because of the recent changes.

Let me know if you have any recent tutorials on Firebase and Ionic V1.

Thanks a million,

Matt

I doubt there will be any new tutorials with V1. Your best bet is to make in Ionic 3 or 4. There are a tons of tutorials for those versions.

Thanks Mikrochipkid. Is there an easy way to upgrade a v1 app to v3/4?

Unfortunately there is not, but here is the documentation to make the transition from ionic 3 to ionic 4. I would just make a new project and try to transfer code over carefully. Good luck.
