Read Firestore data in a local script

2023-07-09 1:

• $ npm init -y 2:
• $ npm install firebase-admin --save 3: js

const admin = require('firebase-admin');
let serviceAccount = require('path/to/serviceAccountKey.json');
 
admin.initializeApp({
  credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount)
});
 
let db = admin.firestore();

4:

• $ node yourScript.js

I got a dependency error when I tried to add it to the project’s node_modules because I went through one.

• I’m not moving any other sources in the project, so just do 1 in a subfolder.

let serviceAccount = require('path/to/serviceAccountKey.json');

• The path for this will be something like '. /foobar-fffff-firebase-adminsdk-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx.json'.
  • . /.
