the most loved and most valued react dev on youtube ...tyyy u changed my life , I finally got a job

[@andyb9990]

Imma start calling Sonny 'The Mailman' because he always delivers! Thanks Sonny, I needed to work on styled components more.

[@govindbchandran8681]

Or we could call him PostMan 😉

[@alaahashem8900]

can you help me bro ,
when I write that, const [ user, loading ] = useAuthState(auth);
this message is shown to me : auth.onAuthStateChanged is not a function
i don't why

[@superjke718]

Amazing energy. I'm an experienced backend developer however relatively new to React - just over halfway and loving this build so far. Keep up the good work Sonny.

[@CandyMoney1000]

Holy shit.... so much better than the Clever Programmer collabs

[@HorizonHuntxr]

Soo true 😂

[@daviddunnington6534]

Sonny can you add segments to your videos? It will help us find sections we need when re watching it also helps you show up better in search results.

[@SonnySangha]

Done dude!

[@daviddunnington6534]

Thanks

[@ThePirateAbi]

@@SonnySangha thank you so much

[@ganesha3559]

Nice tutorial. Recently in our office we tried to implement a Full Office Messaging Clone with a look of Slack. Though we succeeded in making the frontend with ease (it was done in Electron React) the messaging backend engine which could perform at scale was very difficult and needed quite a lot of research. Still there are cracks! But all in all good experience.
So the take away what i got was, frontend could be materialized easily but to make a full product it takes whole lot more than just a simple tutorial.

[@awakenwithoutcoffee]

good insights! looking back what would you recommend for a dev looking to prevent these issues ?

[@setimarz]

thanks for the great content! If someone is getting this error: Module not found: Error: Package path . is not exported from package try this in the firebase.js file
import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app';
import 'firebase/compat/auth';
import 'firebase/compat/firestore';
it worked for me:)

[@kriptonVIP]

Thanks, and for correct working GoogleAuthProvider i add,
import { GoogleAuthProvider } from "firebase/auth";
and replace
const provider = firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider();
on
const provider = new GoogleAuthProvider();

[@techware4649]

It's a Good move to do your own thing, your fire is burning hot enough to last a lifetime, keep on keeping on!

[@crazeislive_cil]

Hey sunny.
Pretty awesome stuff. You are literally helping lot developers to make there careers.
I have a small request, if you get some time please make a detailed video on ReactJs testing. I know its very important, and I am having pretty tough time on it, and I believe so does other developers.
Thanks man for everything you are giving for free.

[@smashtechofficial]

WHY IS THIS IN MY HISTORY????

[@rreay724]

Man I'm so glad you broke off to do your own thing. I think it's much better quality and more focused when you're solo doing your own thing. Good for you, dude and thanks for all the content.

[@abhinavdhama3014]

sonny you killed it man .You are providing awesome content . Only thing got positive in my life during this corona is YOUR VIDEOS,TUTORIALS,CLONE BUILDS and now you are deleivering the styled components

[@weixing8985]

Thanks for doing this for free! I've been working as a full stack engineer for years and still can learn a lot from your video!

[@DrewNorman]

Papa FAM is the best community in the world. and we have the best teacher. Sonny you are blessed with coaching talent. Keep up this positive energy guys. I never in a million years figured I would be able to learn this stuff so fast.

[@subinneupane9223]

I have learned so much from Sonny in 2 weeks than from my Uni in 2 years
LMAO

[@DarkShadow-oh5di]

Same tho!

[@gerard02700]

And good morning btw. Gotta turn in, but I did crack the 10 minute mark, and will get through it anon!

[@rohandeysarkar8443]

whenever I get stressed out :( ,
I watch one of ur videos and code.
Stress gone :)

[@nardopolo101]

Not even 10 minutes in and the energy is definitely up. You've got me for the long haul on this one.

[@chelseas9974]

Just discovered this channel. I followed a bunch of the clones last year with Clever Programmer and honestly I got extremely annoyed by the constant yelling and interrupting during the whole videos. You were constantly interrupted and it just disrupted the whole flow for me. They were almost impossible to watch and enjoy but I watched it because you and the content itself was soooo worth it. But THIS is ideal. I’m literally so excited to find your channel. This is the best of both worlds!!! Thank you so so so much for this - you were the best part of clever programmer and I wouldn’t watch without you!
No hate to the clever programmer team - the content was always pure gold. Especially for free!

[@mustaneerhaider515]

It feels good to listen Sonny building the app from the scratch without Qazi irritating. I hate those build where everytime Qazi was disturbing and talking shit. But this build is amazing.

[@irakiselyova4446]

Thank you! The best React app making tutorials on UA-cam!

[@awakenwithoutcoffee]

now its ON! love the energy.

Its great tô see you back on the online mentor track mate.... You are the One and only Mr Sonny! All the best from Brazil Man.... Cheers

[@surendrajat7290]

nice video papa fan

[@chiroto]

Amazed by your work but it is just the Slack interface with the chatrooms as the only functionality. I would like to see more than the chat (same as the facebook tutorial), more functionality and responsiveness!
Good work on this part though, I've learned a lot, thanks!

[@beefcakees]

I like your no nonsense policy, but you are still chillin' .

[@star3am]

Your videos are so cool and very helpful thank you! Let's crush this thing!

Although the messages are being added in the firebase database, but I'm unable to render and display it using React. Someone please help.

Same. E: Turns out while iterating through each "doc" I used curlies instead of regular parentheses.

[@krishgarg2806]

1st of all, thank you so much for this tutorial.
2nd for people watching it now, firebase's sdk has changed a bit so refer to the docs and change accordingly.
Update: The react-firebase-hooks is not yet compatible with firebase 9.0.
Update 2: react-firebase-hooks now supports Firebase v9.

[@apollosurfer]

As of November 3rd: React Firebase Hooks v4 has been released which supports v9 and also requires React 16.8.0 or later and Firebase v9.0.0 or later.

Great content Sonny! You're amazing buddy.
One question, does using the firestore instead of realtime db works for messages and instant updates?

[@zurkik]

yes, it works very well for any type of chat applications.

[@deeerby_]

@@zurkik thanks for the reply mate, appreciated.
So no need for realtime database at all?

Hey! Thanks dude!
Firestore is essentially the successor to real-time DB it has everything + more! (So yes!!!)

Fix for making the Sidebar scrollable:
const SidebarContainer = styled.div`
overflow-y: scroll;
::-webkit-scrollbar {
display: none;
}
`;

[@entertechinc]

lateest react-firebase-hooks :
import {useCollectionData} from "react-firebase-hooks/firestore";
import {collection } from "firebase/firestore";
import { db } from "../firebase";
const [channels, loading, error] = useCollectionData(collection(db, "rooms"));

[@papakalasch2423]

There was a problem with the .map-method. I got the following error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map').
ChatGPT fixed it with:
{channels && channels.map((channel) => (

))}

[@papakalasch2423]

The function const selectChannel = () => {
if (id) {
dispatch(enterRoom({
roomId: id,
}))
}
doesnt create an entry in the redux dev tools by clicking on a channel. I'm stuck here. does anyone have any ideas or can help?

amazing ....

[@namangupta092]

at 1:39:03 on line 49 in the map function, how is it returning the SidebarOption element without actually providing the 'return' keyword?

[@Taulant-Bardhi]

If anyone is having the problem "Module not found: Can't resolve 'firebase' in", use these imports:
import firebase from 'firebase/compat/app';
import "firebase/compat/auth";
import "firebase/compat/firestore";

i have a question stucked in my mind for so long .
what makes a 3-5 year experienced react developer different from a fresh react developer ....as both have studied and learnt the same concepts of javascript ,react, html, css . I mean ... a fresh react developer can also do the stuff which a 3-5 year experienced developer can do right?
