[#Script #Coding] Create an Instagram Clone with React, Tailwind CSS, Firebase – Tutorial

Create an Instagram Clone with React, Tailwind CSS, Firebase – Tutorial

By freeCodeCamp.org
Published: Apr 19, 2021


freeCodeCamp.org Learn how to create an Instagram clone with React and JavaScript! This project uses React (custom hooks, useContext, useState, useEffect, useRef), Firebase (Firestore/auth), Tailwind CSS, LoadTest, Lighthouse, Vercel, React Testing Library and Cypress E2E Testing.

This React project has multiple pages: login, sign up, dashboard (to view/like/comment on photos), and user profiles. The sign-in page connects to Firebase when a user tries to sign in, and when a user signs up, Firebase auth is used to store the user in the Firebase auth database. After the application is built you will learn how to deploy it to Vercel.
