😉 in the old days you felt like you'd really achieved something when you got to hello world with things like public static void main.. . clj -e '(println "Hello, world")' is just boring

Your code and blog post has been a huge help for me in setting up firebase auth for my own project, so thank you so much! However, I’m borrowing aspects from yours as well as from the source code of the deg/re-frame-firebase library, and am having trouble with compiling using default compiler optimizations :advanced. It apparently removes too much of the js code so that I get messages like Cannot read property 'getIdToken' of null because firebase doesn’t initialize properly. Works fine fith :simple optimizations, and I’ve tried adding ^js hints in the same places as your code does, which helped with a few of the errors but not all. Any suggestions what I could try?

More specifically, it actually seems to initialize firebase, but fails to initialize the google sign-in constructor. firebase.auth.Xx is not a constructor

Following the directions at https://shadow-cljs.github.io/docs/UsersGuide.html#externs I just tried creating an externs/app.txt file and added a single line with the word GoogleAuthProvider and that seems to have done the trick! Now that constructor keeps its name instead of being renamed to Xx. I still don’t know why that specific name couldn’t be auto-inferred, but the solution/workaround is so simple that I can live with it:)

Glad you got it sorted. As I have it in my project, that line is (`js/firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider.)` , so has no hint. I imagine in that case bc the compiler sees it refers to a global object it is left as is.
