firebase-rules

Rules and migration scripts for Singpath Firbase db.

Requirements

• node 4+; you can use something like nvm to install multiple node version.
• one or more Firebase project. If it will be used in production, you should have at production and a staging db

Setup

We will rely firebase-tools to upload data.

1. setup a new npm project and install dependencies:

    ```shell
    npm install -g firebase-tools
    npm install -g @singpath/singpath-rules
    ```

2. setup a Firebase project in the current directory (it should like to your staging DB):

    ```shell
    npm init
    firebase init
    firebase login
    ```

3. edit firebase.json to add the "rules" entry:

    ```json
    {
      "firebase": "singpath-dev",
      "rules": "rules.json",
      "public": "public",
      "ignore": [
        "firebase.json",
        "**/.*",
        "**/node_modules/**"
      ]
    }
    ```

4. upload rules and seed data to your Firebase DB.

    ```
    singpath-rules init-db
    ```

Building json rules

firebase-tools (see below) will support bolt rules directly sometime in the future, but for now we need them in the current json encoded form.

To compile the rules:

singpath-rules compile

You will find the rules in rules.json.

Uploading rules

./node_modules/.bin/singpath-rules upload-rules

Use the -f to switch the Firebase DB to upload to and -a to set the secret.

Development
