jcorpac Firebase Foundations
Purpose
This skill provides the essential groundwork for integrating Firebase into your applications. It covers initializing the Firebase SDK, configuring environment variables, and setting up the Firebase CLI tools.
Usage
1. Install Firebase SDK
npm install firebase
# or
pip install firebase-admin
2. Initialize App (Web/Node)
// src/firebase.js
import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
const firebaseConfig = {
apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
appId: process.env.FIREBASE_APP_ID
};
const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
export default app;
3. Initialize Admin SDK (Server)
# src/firebase_admin_setup.py
import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
cred = credentials.Certificate("path/to/serviceAccountKey.json")
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)
