How to create angular library using Angular 12 -part 4
In this section, we will see how to deploy angular application including angular library to firebase hosting using firebase cli tools.
Firebase account creation
To deploy your angular application to firebase hosting, you need to have an account on the firebase website https://console.firebase.google.com. Firebase expects Google account for login. If not create the Google account and login.
Create a project
Once done with the firebase account creation, now create Firebase project by clicking on the Create a project or Add Project button.
Once you click on create a project or Add project button, then you need to follow three step process to create a project.
Step 1: Provide a unique name for your Firebase project. In my case, I have named it as angular-lib-app. then click on continue for step 2.
Step 2: Enable or disable Google Analytics for your Firebase project. By default enabled so click on continue. If you don't want Google Analytics for your project, disable the analytics then click on continue.
Step 3: Configure Google Analytics by selecting default account for firebase from the dropdown field and click on create project.
After click on create project button, firebase will take few minutes to create the project.
