How to use

Just use JavaScript to manage the database.

• You can use one-line commands

console.log(
  await db
    .collection("users")
    .get()
    .then(({ docs }) => docs.map((e) => e.data()))
);

const users = await db.collection("users").get();
console.log(users.docs.map((e) => e.data()));

• You can insert multi-line scripts

// command 1 (use Ctrl + V to input multiline code)
const users = await db.collection("users").get();
const arr = users.docs.map((e) => e.data());
console.log(arr);

• You can assign the result of a command to variables and use them in another command

// command 1
const users = await db.collection("users").get();

// command 2
const arr = users.docs.map((e) => e.data());

// command 3
console.log(arr);

• You can output the result of the command to the console (you can study the structures and utility properties and methods of objects)

console.log(await db.collection("users").get());

• You can even execute your script from a file using require();

require("../examples/my_migration_script_test.js").run();

my_migration_script_test.js

const admin = require("firebase-admin");

module.exports.run = async () => {
  const users = await admin.firestore().collection("users").get();
  const arr = users.docs.map((e) => e.data());
  console.log(arr);
};

Example

siarhei@MacBook-Pro firebase-admin-cli % export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/Users/siarhei/Projects/firebase-admin-cli/serviceAccount.json
siarhei@MacBook-Pro firebase-admin-cli % firebase cli --with=../examples/my_extension.js

> firebase-admin-cli@1.0.0 start
> node ./bin/firebase-cli.js

The following settings are loaded:
Service Account from file: /Users/siarhei/Projects/ireceipt-pro/firebase/functions/accounts/production.json
Project id: ireceipt-pro
Extension is loaded: ../examples/my_extension.js
The following methods are now available to you: ext.printFile

Extensions

You can create your own extensions for the application and run them inside the console.

If you want to use extensions, just list them using the prefix --with=, for example:

siarhei@MacBook-Pro firebase-admin-cli % firebase cli --with=../examples/my_extension.js --with=../examples/my_extension_2.js --with=../examples/my_extension_3.js

After that, you can use the extension commands. For example:

ext.printFile("users/test_file.json")

Here is example of the JavaScript extension (also you can use TypeScript):

const { tools } = require("firebase-admin-cli");

/**
 * Print a GCS file data
 *
 * Example `ext.printFile("users/test_file.json");`
 * @param {String} path - file path
 */
const printFile = async (path) => {
  console.log(
    await tools.bucket
      .file(path)
      .download()
      .then(([buf]) => buf.toString())
  );
};

module.exports = { printFile };
