This repository holds code snippets used in Web documentation on firebase.google.com.

These snippets are part of our documentation and best read in the context of a documentation page rather than used directly. If you're looking to get started with the Firebase Web SDK the best place to start is quickstart-js.

Consider this page: https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/lists-of-data

Each snippet in the page is dynamically included from the source in this repository, in this case mostly from this file: https://github.com/firebase/snippets-web/blob/master/database/lists-of-data.js

Each snippet has a "region tag" which is defined by // [START tag] and // [END tag] comments. The code between the tags can be included in our documentation. Keeping the code on GitHub, rather than hard-coded into the HTML of our documentation, allows us to ensure the code is correct and up to date.

We love contributions! See CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines.
