Where should I put "serviceAccountCredentials.json" for Firebase Admin, at production?-CodePudding

in development, I make a config directory and I put the json file in this directory.

>> .env
FIREBASE_ADMINSDK_PATH=./config/firebase-adminsdk-2222222.json

>> test.ts
import { initializeApp, getApps, cert } from 'firebase-admin/app'
const apps = getApps()
if (!apps.length) {
    initializeApp({
        credential: cert(config.FIREBASE_ADMINSDK_PATH)),
    })
}
...

But in production environment, there is only 2 directory in '.output' directory (.output/public, .output/server) So nuxt can not find "./config/firebase-adminsdk-2222222.json" file.

Where should I put "serviceAccountCredentials.json" for Firebase Admin, at production?

CodePudding user response：

Rather than providing the file location of the service account, you can provide the service account in line as done in this example. Reading the service-account.json file should give you enough details to fill in the initialization. Copying the initialization here as well:

// Providing a service account object inline
admin.initializeApp({
  credential: admin.credential.cert({
    projectId: "<PROJECT_ID>",
    clientEmail: "foo@<PROJECT_ID>.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
    privateKey: "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----<KEY>-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"
  }),
  databaseURL: "https://<DATABASE_NAME>.firebaseio.com"
});

NOTE: It is advisable to use attached service accounts when possible and encouraged to use the application default credential in most cases.
