'o.default.get(this.settings).database is not a function. (In ‘o.default.get.(this.settings).database()’, ‘o.default.get(this.settings).database’ is undefined) The above error is showing to me. How can I fix this, any idea? ---

Firebase is picky about the characters it allows in a key path name. Filter out the @ and . Then try again. So instead of [Jared.gibb@gmail.com](mailto:Jared.gibb@gmail.com) I would use Jaredgibbgmailcom ---
