How do I handle local development?

Understanding local development with fireact.dev

fireact.dev includes support for Firebase emulators, allowing you to:

  • Develop locally without affecting production data
  • Test authentication flows
  • Simulate cloud functions
  • Test Stripe webhooks locally
  • Debug and develop offline

The emulators provide a complete local development environment where you can:

  • Test authentication with dummy accounts
  • Develop and test cloud functions
  • Work with Firestore data locally
  • Test Stripe integrations with test keys
  • Debug your application without affecting production

This makes it safe and efficient to develop and test your application before deploying to production.
