Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Most of these files have no meaning to us except the INSTRUCTIONS-README.txt file."

A block of code is set as follows:

     app.get('/temperature', function(req, res) {
     res.send('24 °C');
     });

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

firebase --version

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "In the Firebase console, go to the SERVICE ACCOUNTS section of your application settings."
