I'm trying to write some test data to a local version of Firebase. I have these variables defined in my .env.local (and .env.development files) ...
REACT_APP_MB_ACCESS_TOKEN="accesstoken"
ALGOLIA_APP_ID="appid"
ALGOLIA_API_KEY="apikey"
NODE_ENV="development"
FIREBASE_EMULATOR_HOST_VAR=localhost:9000
FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8080
GCLOUD_PROJECT=mutualaid-123f6
I have the below set up (via npm run dev:upload) to upload dummy data into my local Firebase ...
const admin = require("firebase-admin");
const data = require("./data.json");
let serviceAccount = process.env.FIREBASE_SECRET;
...
require("dotenv").config();
admin.initializeApp();
db = admin.firestore();
...
async function upload(data, path) {
console.log("starting ...");
return await db
.doc(path.join("/"))
.set(data)
.then(() => console.log(`Document ${path.join("/")} uploaded.`))
.catch((e) => {
console.error(`Could not write document ${path.join("/")}.`);
console.log(e);
});
S
adly the above results in
...

You haven't passed your config object to admin.initializeApp
Since you use dotenv to load env files, you can create a config object with env details like
const config = {
type: "service_account",
project_id: "xxx",
credential: 'your credentials'
};
require("dotenv").config();
admin.initializeApp({config});
db = admin.firestore();
If you are not passing any config to initializeApp then you need to define it FIREBASE_CONFIG env object.
According to the documentation:
The SDK can also be initialized with no parameters. In this case, the SDK uses Google Application Default Credentials and reads options from the
FIREBASE_CONFIG
environment variable. If the content of theFIREBASE_CONFIG
variable begins with a { it will be parsed as a JSON object. Otherwise the SDK assumes that the string is the name of a JSON file containing the options.
