# Setting up Firebase Hosting with an is-a.dev Subdomain

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up a Firebase Hosting site and pointing your is-a.dev subdomain towards it.

## Creating a Firebase Project

First, create a Firebase project and set up Firebase Hosting. Follow the instructions in the [Firebase Hosting Documentation](https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/quickstart).

### Setting up Firebase Hosting

1. Install the Firebase CLI: `npm install -g firebase-tools`
2. Initialize Firebase in your project directory: `firebase init hosting`
3. Deploy your site: `firebase deploy`

### Creating the Domain File

Create a JSON file inside the `domains` directory (`domains/subdomain.json`) with the following content and submit a pull request:

```json
{
"owner": {
"username": "github-username",
"email": "me@example.com"
},
"records": {
"CNAME": "your-firebase-site.web.app"
}
}
```

Make sure to replace:

- `github-username` with your actual GitHub username
- `me@example.com` with your email address
- `your-firebase-site.web.app` with your hosting site

### Configuring Firebase Hosting for Custom Domain

After your pull request is merged and your is-a.dev subdomain is active:

1. Go to your Firebase Console
2. Navigate to **Hosting** in the left sidebar
3. Click **Add custom domain**
4. Enter your is-a.dev subdomain (e.g., `example.is-a.dev`)
5. Firebase will verify domain ownership automatically through DNS
6. Wait for the SSL certificate to be provisioned (this can take up to 24 hours)

## Notes

- Firebase Hosting automatically provides SSL certificates for custom domains
- Make sure your Firebase project is deployed and accessible before adding the custom domain

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

- Ensure your Firebase project is deployed and accessible via the default `.web.app` domain
- Check that your DNS records have propagated (this can take up to 48 hours)
- Verify your Firebase Hosting configuration in `firebase.json`
- Make sure your build files are in the correct public directory specified in your Firebase configuration
