@firebase/installations
Advanced tools
The @firebase/installations npm package is part of the Firebase SDK and is responsible for managing unique identifiers for Firebase installations. It provides APIs to generate and manage these identifiers, which are crucial for the proper functioning of other Firebase services such as Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and Firebase Remote Config.
Generate a unique identifier for a Firebase installation
This feature allows the generation of a unique identifier for each Firebase installation. This ID is used internally by Firebase services to target specific installations.
import { getInstallations, getId } from '@firebase/installations';
const installations = getInstallations();
getId(installations).then(id => console.log('Firebase Installation ID:', id));Delete an installation
This feature provides the functionality to delete a Firebase installation. This might be used when cleaning up data or when a user logs out and you want to ensure their installation data is reset.
import { getInstallations, deleteInstallation } from '@firebase/installations';
const installations = getInstallations();
deleteInstallation(installations).then(() => console.log('Installation deleted'));While firebase-admin is primarily used for server-side interactions with Firebase, it also manages Firebase installations in a broader administrative context. Unlike @firebase/installations, which is client-focused, firebase-admin provides a more comprehensive set of tools for Firebase management, including user authentication, database interactions, and more.
