Connect Firebase Database to React Native Search bar?

Question

I want to fetch data from firebase database and display them on my app according to the search keywords...how can i do it?

Answer 1

For starters you can use this autocomplete component

https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-autocomplete-input

You still need to get the data from the database tho, and firebase may not be best suited for that.

One other thing i found is this article that may be relevant:

The author uses vanillaJS and HTML but it can still be modified to use in react native.
