 # ReactFire
 
-Hooks, Context Providers, and Components that make it easy to interact with
-Firebase.
-
-## What is ReactFire?
-
-- **Easy realtime updates for your function components** - Hooks
-  like `useUser`and `useFirestoreCollection` let you easily subscribe to
-  auth state, realtime data, and all other Firebase SDK events. Plus, they automatically unsubscribe when your component unmounts.
-- **Access Firebase libraries from any component** - Need the Firestore SDK? `useFirestore`. Remote Config? `useRemoteConfig`.
-- **Safely configure Firebase libraries** - Libraries like Firestore and Remote Config require settings like `enablePersistence` to be set before any data fetches are made. This can be tough to support in React's world of re-renders. ReactFire gives you `useInitFirestore` and `useInitRemoteConfig` hooks that guarantee they're set before anything else.
-
-## Platform support
-
-ReactFire is designed for **web React apps** and wraps the [Firebase Web SDK](https://firebase.google.com/docs/web/setup). It is not compatible with React Native or Expo. For React Native projects, use [react-native-firebase](https://rnfirebase.io/) instead.
-
-## Install
-
-```bash
-# npm
-npm install --save firebase reactfire
-
-# or
-
-# yarn
-yarn add firebase reactfire
-```
-
-Depending on your targeted platforms you may need to install polyfills. The most commonly needed will be [globalThis](https://caniuse.com/#search=globalThis) and [Proxy](https://caniuse.com/#search=Proxy).

-## Example use
-
-Check out the
-[live version on StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/fork/reactfire-v4-sample)!
-
-```jsx
-import React from 'react';
-import { render } from 'react-dom';
-
-import { doc, getFirestore } from 'firebase/firestore';
-import { FirebaseAppProvider, FirestoreProvider, useFirestoreDocData, useFirestore, useFirebaseApp } from 'reactfire';
-
-const firebaseConfig = {
-  /* Add in your config object from the Firebase console */
-};
-
-function BurritoTaste() {
-  // access the Firestore library
-  const burritoRef = doc(useFirestore(), 'tryreactfire', 'burrito');
-
-  // subscribe to a document for realtime updates. just one line!
-  const { status, data } = useFirestoreDocData(burritoRef);
-
-  // check the loading status
-  if (status === 'loading') {
-    return <p>Fetching burrito flavor...</p>;
-  }
-
-  return <p>The burrito is {data.yummy ? 'good' : 'bad'}!</p>;
-}
-
-function App() {
-  const firestoreInstance = getFirestore(useFirebaseApp());
-  return (
-    <FirestoreProvider sdk={firestoreInstance}>
-      <h1>🌯</h1>
-      <BurritoTaste />
-    </FirestoreProvider>
-  );
-}
-
-render(
-  <FirebaseAppProvider firebaseConfig={firebaseConfig}>
-    <App />
-  </FirebaseAppProvider>,
-  document.getElementById('root')
-);
-```

-## Status
-
-![Status: Experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/Status-Experimental-blue)
-
-This repository is maintained by Googlers but is not a supported Firebase product. Issues here are answered by maintainers and other community members on GitHub on a best-effort basis.
-
-### Extra Experimental [concurrent mode](https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-suspense.html) features
-
-These features are marked as *extra experimental* because they use experimental React features that [will not be stable until sometime after React 18 is released](https://github.com/reactwg/react-18/discussions/47#:~:text=Likely%20after%20React%2018.0%3A%20Suspense%20for%20Data%20Fetching).
-
-- **Loading states handled by `<Suspense>`** - ReactFire's hooks throw promises
-  that Suspense can catch. Let React
-  [handle loading states for you](https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-suspense.html).
-- **Automatically instrument your `Suspense` load times** - Need to automatically instrument your `Suspense` load times with [RUM](https://firebase.google.com/docs/perf-mon)? Use `<SuspenseWithPerf />`.
-
-Enable concurrent mode features by following the [concurrent mode setup guide](https://reactjs.org/docs/concurrent-mode-adoption.html#installation) and then setting the `suspense` prop in `FirebaseAppProvider`:
-
-```jsx
-<FirebaseAppProvider firebaseConfig={firebaseConfig} suspense={true}>
-```
-
-See concurrent mode code samples in [example/withSuspense](https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/reactfire/tree/main/example/withSuspense)
