# Reactfire Hooks, Context Providers, and Components that make it easy to interact with Firebase. > If you're looking for docs for the _deprecated_ ReactFire v1 (the one that uses mixins), click [here](https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/reactfire/tree/v1.0.0) ## What is ReactFire? - **Easy realtime updates for your function components** - Reactfire's hooks, like `useFirestoreCollection` and `useUser`, let you easily subscribe to events, and automatically unsubscribe when your component unmounts. - **Loading states handled by ``** - Reactfire's hooks throw promises that Suspense can catch. No more `isLoaded ?...` - let React [handle it for you](https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/11/27/react-16-roadmap.html#react-166-shipped-the-one-with-suspense-for-code-splitting). - **Dead-simple Real User Monitoring (RUM)** - Easily enable Firebase Performance Monitoring's [automatic traces](https://firebase.google.com/docs/perf-mon/automatic-web), and instrument your Suspenseful loads with Reactfire's `` component Status: Alpha ## Install ```bash # npm npm install reactfire # yarn yarn add reactfire ``` ## Example use Check out the [live version on StackBlitz](https://stackblitz.com/edit/reactfire-sample)! ```jsx import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { render } from 'react-dom'; import './style.css'; import { FirebaseAppProvider, useFirestoreDoc, useFirebaseApp, SuspenseWithPerf } from 'reactfire'; import 'firebase/performance'; import 'firebase/firestore'; const firebaseConfig = { /* add your config object from the Firebase console */ }; function Burrito() { // create a ref const firebaseApp = useFirebaseApp(); const burritoRef = firebaseApp .firestore() .collection('tryreactfire') .doc('burrito'); // subscribe to the doc. just one line! // throws a Promise for Suspense to catch, // and then streams live updates const burritoDoc = useFirestoreDoc(burritoRef); // get the value from the doc const isYummy = burritoDoc.data().yummy; return

The burrito is {isYummy ? 'good' : 'bad'}!
