NPM package for backup and restore Firebase Firestore

You can export and import data from firestore with sub collection.

Installation

Install using npm.

npm install firestore-export-import
OR
yarn add firestore-export-import

Get Google Cloud Account Credentials from Firebase

You can Generate New Private Key from Project Settings from Firebase Console.

After that you need to copy the databaseURL for initiating the App.

Usage

You have to import this package in a JavaScript file and work from there.

Initialize Firebase App

You have initialize the Firebase App in order to use Firestore service. It doesn't matter if you initialize it by using this plugin method or the offical way.

const { initializeFirebaseApp } = require('firestore-export-import')

const serviceAccount = require('./serviceAccountKey.json')

// If you want to pass settings for firestore, you can add to the options parameters
const options = {
  firestore: {
    host: 'localhost:8080',
    ssl: false,
  },
}

// Initiate Firebase App
// appName is optional, you can omit it.
const appName = '[DEFAULT]'
const firestore = initializeFirebaseApp(serviceAccount, appName, options)

// the appName & options are OPTIONAL
// you can initialize the app without them
// const firestore = initializeFirebaseApp(serviceAccount)

Export data from firestore

You can export collection and sub collection from your data. The sub collection is optional.

Export options - OPTIONAL

// Export options
const options = {
  docsFromEachCollection: 10, // limit number of documents when exporting
  refs: ['refKey', 'deep.level.key'], // reference Path
}

// In your index.js

const { backup } = require('firestore-export-import')

// Start exporting your data
backup(firestore, 'collection-name', options).then((data) =>
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data))
)

Export data from document

Backup a document with sub collections

// you can pass options as a third option - optional
backupFromDoc(firestore, 'collection-name', 'document-id').then((data) =>
  console.log(JSON.stringify(data))
)

Sub collections will be added under 'subCollection' object.

Get all collections data

This is a suggestion from jcummings2 and leningsv

The ['collectionName1', 'collectionName2'] is OPTIONAL, you can remove this parameter to get all of the current collections in your firestore.

The result is an object of collection's data.

const { backups } = require('firestore-export-import')

backups(firestore, ['collectionName1', 'collectionName2']) // Array of collection's name is OPTIONAL
  .then((collections) => {
    // You can do whatever you want with collections
    console.log(JSON.stringify(collections))
  })

Export data with query

You are can back update based on query criteria. In this example, I am backing up all data from users collection, where name equals Dale Nguyen.

const queryByName = (collectionRef) =>
  collectionRef.where('name', '==', 'Dale Nguyen').get()

const users = await backup(firestore, 'users', {
  queryCollection: queryByName,
})

Import data to firestore (Predefined Document Id)

This code will help you to import data from a JSON file to firestore. You have two options:

• Restore from a JSON file from your local machine
• Restore from a JSON from a HTTP request

This will return a Promise<{status: boolean, message: string}>

Remember that, this action doesn't remove the collection. It will override or add new data to the collection. If you want to remove the current collection, you should do it from firebase console or using firebase firestore:delete

firebase firestore:delete [options] <
