What firebase-hosting-basics does

The skill teaches the agent to work with classic Firebase Hosting: deploy built static sites and single-page apps, configure redirects, rewrites, and headers in firebase.json, create preview channels to test changes before release, connect custom domains. Inside — instructions on configuration (configuration.md) and deployment (deploying.md), local emulator command. Files are cached on CDN SSD servers, SSL works out of the box.

Does not cover Firebase App Hosting for Next.js and server-side rendering, does not touch Firestore rules, Auth, or Data Connect. If the project requires SSR or automated git deployment, look at App Hosting instead. Works well for simple SPAs built with React, Vue, or plain HTML.

What it helps with

  • deploy a static site to Firebase Hosting CDN
  • configure redirects and headers in firebase.json
  • create a preview channel to test changes
  • connect a custom domain to Firebase Hosting
  • test hosting configuration locally with emulator

Example prompts for the agent

  • Deploy this React project to Firebase Hosting
  • Set up a redirect from www to the main domain in firebase.json
  • Start the local Firebase Hosting emulator for this site

# hosting-basics

This skill provides instructions and references for working with Firebase
Hosting, a fast and secure hosting service for your web app, static and dynamic
content, and microservices.

## Overview

Firebase Hosting provides production-grade web content hosting for developers.
With a single command, you can deploy web apps and serve both static and dynamic
content to a global CDN (content delivery network).

**Key Features:**

- **Fast Content Delivery:** Files are cached on SSDs at CDN edges around the
  world.
- **Secure by Default:** Zero-configuration SSL is built-in.
- **Preview Channels:** View and test changes on temporary preview URLs before
  deploying live.
- **GitHub Integration:** Automate previews and deploys with GitHub Actions.
- **Dynamic Content:** Serve dynamic content and microservices using Cloud
  Functions or Cloud Run.

## Hosting vs App Hosting

**Choose Firebase Hosting if:**

- You are deploying a static site (HTML/CSS/JS).
- You are deploying a simple SPA (React, Vue, etc. without SSR).
- You want full control over the build and deploy process via CLI.

**Choose Firebase App Hosting if:**

- You are using a supported full-stack framework like Next.js or Angular.
- You need Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or ISR.
- You want an automated "git push to deploy" workflow with zero configuration.

## Instructions

### 1. Configuration (`firebase.json`)

For details on configuring Hosting behavior, including public directories,
redirects, rewrites, and headers, see
[configuration.md](references/configuration.md).

### 2. Deploying

For instructions on deploying your site, using preview channels, and managing
releases, see [deploying.md](references/deploying.md).

### 3. Emulation

To test your app locally:

```bash
npx -y firebase-tools@latest emulators:start --only hosting
```

This serves your app at `http://localhost:5000` by default.
