firebase admin dashboard

Starter Project For Building Admin Dashboards For Firebase Apps

Easily create admin dashboards for your Firebase powered apps. For example, you can create a merchant dashboard for uploading items on an e-commerce site which uses Firebase as the backend.

Project Structure

• dashboard: contains a react based app which will be served using Firebase hosting. It hits a Firebase cloud function api defined inside functions folder.
• functions: contains an api cloud function which is basically an Express based API for your app. Your write all your protected business logic here.

Setup

1. Put your Firebase project's name in .firebaserc.

2. Set a secret key for JWT token on Firebase.

   firebase functions:config:set auth.secret="<YOUR_SECRET>"

3. Cd to functions folder and run

   yarn install

4. For every admin user, run the npm script

   yarn run passwdgen <username> <password>

   and follow further instructions.

5. Cd to dashboard folder and run

   yarn install

6. In dashboard/src/globals.js file, set your local and production cloud functions endpoints in API_URL. To get these values, run:

   for local

   firebase serve --only functions

   for production

   firebase deploy

   set GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=<path_to_json_file>/serviceAccountKey.json

2. Get a copy of Firebase environment variables set on the server, for running the functions locally. From functions folder, run

   firebase functions:config:get > .runtimeconfig.json

3. Run the functions locally
