express-firebase

Simple Firebase Admin Server using NodeJS.

You used Firebase for auth, realtime DB, and all. Finally you need your own server to integrate with 3rd party services, or maybe custom token, or you need server-side operations.

Have existing express server? Try out Express Firebase Middleware

How to use

  1. Clone this repo and change directory to the cloned folder

  2. Install the packages

    npm install

  3. You need to download your Firebase Service Account json file, please follow the official instruction.

    Put the file at project root.

    ⚠️ Always make sure the JSON file is git-ignored!

  4. Copy .env.example file and rename it to .env at project root.

    Change the dummy FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL value with your Firebase project databaseURL, you can find it on your Firebase Console

  5. Then start the server

    npm start

  6. It should log successfully, and you can start using Firebase Admin SDK
