What is firebase-admin?

The firebase-admin npm package is a server-side library that allows Node.js applications to interact with Firebase services such as Firestore, Firebase Realtime Database, Firebase Authentication, and Firebase Cloud Messaging. It provides administrative privileges to perform operations like creating and managing users, setting security rules, and accessing database services programmatically.

What are firebase-admin's main functionalities?

Authentication

This feature allows you to create and manage users in Firebase Authentication. The code sample demonstrates how to create a new user with specific attributes.

admin.auth().createUser({
  email: 'user@example.com',
  emailVerified: false,
  password: 'secretPassword',
  displayName: 'John Doe',
  photoURL: 'http://www.example.com/12345678/photo.png',
  disabled: false
})
.then(function(userRecord) {
  console.log('Successfully created new user:', userRecord.uid);
})
.catch(function(error) {
  console.log('Error creating new user:', error);
});

Database

This feature enables you to interact with Firestore, a NoSQL database. The code sample shows how to add a new document to a collection in Firestore.

var db = admin.firestore();
var docRef = db.collection('users').doc('alovelace');

var setAda = docRef.set({
  first: 'Ada',
  last: 'Lovelace',
  born: 1815
});

Realtime Database

This feature allows you to interact with Firebase Realtime Database. The code sample demonstrates how to set data in the database.

var db = admin.database();
var ref = db.ref('server/saving-data/fireblog');
var usersRef = ref.child('users');
usersRef.set({
  alanisawesome: {
    date_of_birth: 'June 23, 1912',
    full_name: 'Alan Turing'
  },
  gracehop: {
    date_of_birth: 'December 9, 1906',
    full_name: 'Grace Hopper'
  }
});

Cloud Messaging

This feature is used to send notifications and messages to users through Firebase Cloud Messaging. The code sample illustrates how to send a message to a device with a specific registration token.

var registrationToken = 'YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN';

var message = {
  data: {
    score: '850',
    time: '2:45'
  },
  token: registrationToken
};

admin.messaging().send(message)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log('Successfully sent message:', response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log('Error sending message:', error);
  });
