Hosting
At this point many if the blogs will start talking about setting up the database, but I want to keep this really simple "Hello World" style.You can now navigate over to the hosting area within firebase.
If you take a look at Firebase hosting quickstart it also has a great guide.If you are all new to programming you may not have installed Node or NPM yet, just follow this link and install the LTS version.

Firebase project file
.firebaserc
{
"projects": {
"default": "ajonp-lesson-1"
}
}
Firebase hosting file
firebase.json
{
"hosting": {
"public": "public",
"ignore": [
"firebase.json",
"**/.*",
"**/node_modules/**"
]
}
}
Deploy firebase
Because you are logged into the CLI, the two files above tell firebase the project to use, and how they will be served on nginx. Now you just need to run the deploy command.
firebase deploy
Now back inside the firebase console you should see that hosting has now been completed.
