In my work life, more to this in a later post, our primary database currently is a Firestore. Booooh! .. yes .. working on that. :)
As such tooling is limited, both from Firebase itself and from third party vendors. But some tooling does exist. I have chosen refi-app as it was the only non-paid option I found. It is even Open Source. <3
Running it on Linux seems to require setting a specific chrome flag, otherwise it would not start on my machine:
1 | $ refi-app --in-process-gpu |
Also, in i3 context menus did not show up. I did not check why as it runs smoothly under Wayland/Plasma.
To connect to your Firebase project, goto your project settings and export a key:
Import the credentials file in the connection dialogue of Refi and hit “connect”.
On the right side of the screen a list of our collections will appear. Right-clicking a collection name will bring up the import assistant:
Have fun!
