strapi-provider-upload-to-firebase

This is a strapi plugin for uploading assets to firebase, compatible with strapi 3.5.4 I took this repo strapi-provider-upload-firebase by Bent Rynning 👋 and modified it 🤟. (I know... but anyways).

installation

npm i strapi-provider-upload-to-firebase

Firebase credentials

• Create a firebase project ( if you couldn't somehow, here follow step 1 ),
• Then in the project dashboard, go to the project settings ⚙️ -> service accounts -> click on generate new private key.
• This will download a .json file which we'll use to initialize our firebase client.

save this file somewhere safe

Strapi plugin

After installing strapi-provider-upload-to-firebase we need to enable this plugin within strapi. For that, create or edit the file at ./config/plugins.js

var credFile = require("<path/to/serviceAcountFileFromFirebase.json>");

module.exports = () => ({
    upload: {
        provider: 'to-firebase',
        providerOptions: {
            serviceAccount: credFile ,
            bucket: "<BUCKET_NAME>.appspot.com",
            debugLogs: true
        },
    },
}); 

• credFile : Parsed json file that we downloaded from firebase
• upload : The object we export in order to use our media upload plugin in strapi
  • provider :plugin provider name
  • providerOptions:data that our module use to connect to your firebase app and upload assets
    • serviceAccount :parsed serviceAccount.json file
    • bucket:storage bucket name of firebase project
    • debugLogs :if you want to log out events while uploading or deleting

Thats it! 😉 more info about upload plugins in strapi docs here.
