Setup Firebase Admin

Back at the project settings screen, navigate to service accounts

Generate a new private key

Rename to firebase-admin.json and move it to the project root

We need to turn the JSON you downloaded into a string so we can save it in an environment variable. One way to do this is using Nodejs

1. Create a file in project root admin-parse.js

Copy
const { readFileSync } = require("fs");

console.log(JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(readFileSync("firebase-admin.json"))));

1. Run node ./admin-parse.js

Copy the output string and save it for later. Delete firebase-admin.json and admin-parse.js
