The Local Firebase Emulator UI in 15 minutes

[@ArivanAshstar]

Amazing to see support still going for firebase Love ur work guys

[@joaomelo6642]

hi there. I'm a firebase fan and love emulators suite. the only thing still missing to close the local dev workflow is the auth engine. congrats guys and tks for the great work.

[@radikalbeats]

What about Firebase Auth?

[@ZachInSpace]

💯

[@mattfrowe7697]

This is a great tool, it's already been a game changer for my development. Would love to see a video on the pubsub emulator, especially as that's the only one I haven't been able to successfully use yet! Thanks!

[@mateja176]

If firebase continues to improve at such a pace, eventually it will become so good that people just can't ignore it. I know, I already can't.

[@c185driver]

Any chance of a pub/sub emulator video? That would be quite helpful. Thanks.

[@aginanjarm]

yeah, I'm looking for that too..

[@larsbak422]

I for one would very much appreciate it if you would talk about the pubsub emulator. Can you both test scheduled jobs and pubsub subscribers ? Also, I have found that I using the admin sdk with Firestore emulator will correctly read and write to the emulator, but the interface will most often not display documents added by the node admin sdk.

[@rubenheymans1988]

A video about pubsub would be nice! Also local auth but I know you guys are working on that

[@AenGex]

David we missed you!!! Thank you for the content! I would love to update the series for Angular (Firebase for the web)

[@mrousavy]

do you have any plans for a full text search product in the firebase suite? (since firestore doesn't support this, costly alternatives aren't really a good plan B for this..)

[@ezekieeeeel]

this is a perfect 15minute-ish vid. thanks

[@k4f]

Please do the PubSub video! This is awesome!

[@i-heart-google7132]

So where's the bulk import button (04:15) for firestore?

[@rafacrazyboy]

I think there is an error on 5:13 where you change the configuration file. I tried to run it like that for a while but it does not work. I had to the official documentation instead. Which involves calling useEmulator(). I'm not sure if your call to App makes a difference.

[@danieltorres9295]

This is absolutely great content

[@profhenriquedezani]

This is amazing. But, I would like to know how publish the functions and use their in emulator (like made in the video). Other question is about Typescript, how could I debug the code using Visual Studio Code and Firebase Emulator. Thanks. #AskFirebase

[@DanKardell]

Great video. Do we have import yet of existing Firestore data?

[@TFE6979]

Used it yesterday!!! Great great tool guys!

[@tahianaraolona4333]

Amazing! it would be very helpful if you include the authentification in the emulator

[@b0otable]

Awesome Capability, but currently the Firebase UI is not accessible from WSL. I have tried both WSL1 and WSL2. Also some searching indicates that there are many others that are having the same issue. Would be great to have a fix if there is one that exists.

[@SolidousMdz]

Hey, can you make a video testing (with Jest for example) the cloud function triggers in the emulator? Thanks!

[@thepickicool97]

I love to see Firebase improve ! I still think that it's not mature yet !

[@vOnez212]

Great video! Would like to see videos on Tenant API.

[@jeremy1518]

Since we can deploy in other languages than javascript and typescript shouldn't we have option to choose another language like c# during the init process?

[@srolfe26]

Pubsub video please. Seeing it in action on the emulator would be helpful!

[@StephenMoreira]

Sweet! Will check it out.

[@yingjiagu3830]

How to activate the visual hub when doing yarn?

[@vincelombardo1164]

Videos on everything please, the more videos the better

[@kenargo]

The emulator apparently does NOT like Typescript functions! I tried the suggested compile command but still no luck:( Any suggestions?

[@arnaudthomasse3930]

The video is great thank you. I would love to see strategies for swapping out mocks for real dependencies between prod and dev environments too. Thanks again!

[@willthefirst]

So I've been going crazy trying to configure Realtime database using `useEmulator` because that's what you tell us to do in the docs...update the docs?

[@zacharythatcher7328]

Hello! I want to collaborate on a web dev project without giving all of my colleagues my fire base credentials. Getting new people on board to collaborate is starting to become a strenuous process, and anything that could simplify it would be great! When using mongodb compass, everyone can create their own instance independent of a service account with a connection to a project. Is anything like this possible with the emulator, or does the emulator ALWAYS require that there be an associated service account and project, requiring the extra step for collaboration? Please let me know. I am stuck because this is a python app and I am at the point where I am realizing that, no matter whether or not I intend to use the emulator, I still have to initialize the app with service account credentials.

[@SamentaDangal]

Best place and atmosphere

[@jeffmargolis8006]

All of my functions are pub/sub, really looking forward to a walkthrough of that.

[@federicocreti4699]

is it possible from the local emulator access to the realtime database of production (so realtime database in the firebase console and not local) to do some test?

[@MaisUmSomente]

Nice, I will try it right now, lets see......

[@VishalKottarathil]

Can we analyse Firestore quota usage in emulator?

[@Frank_van_Puffelen]

Not yet Vishal, but that *is* being worked on. It was actually one of the questions we covered in the Q&A after this video premiered yesterday, somewhere around here I think: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ3CaYJ9fptrnZY

[@mycloudvip]

Hi, how do I set up Emulators for pre-existing projects ... firebase is currently setup for hosting but if I have already firestore with some data how can I bring that in as well? Thanks

[@beeramnagaphanidhar897]

That was a great video 👍.I am facing little problem with my local node version and firebase version supported node version. Both are being mismatched every time I tired. I downloaded various versions of node but nothing worked. Can I know what version best suits firebase ???

[@John_Henry83]

I am pretty certain that you and the other developers will look at this comment as something that should be self obvious but one thing that you forgot to mention in this video is that one needs to be logged onto the internet and signed into your Firebase/google account BEFORE you run Firebase init or Firebase emulators.init. I discovered this when the command firebase init would not run and gave me a prompt that said that I needed to log in.

[@samirabahallou]

Could not spawn `java -version`. Please make sure Java is installed and on your system PATH.

[@metalllus]

where do i route a payment confirmation webhook from stripe when using the firebase emu?

[@frankellyguzman4297]

can anyone help with this error, "Error: TIMEOUT: Port 8080 on localhost was not active within 60000ms". I get this when i try to run -firebase emulators:start. after initializing the firebase emulator suite.

[@CarlosWashingtonMercado]

What if I want to use this on Android Studio (Java) and not in VSC (JS)?

[@paujoan401]

Tech guy: "We smashed thousands of hours developing this product, here is what you can do". Product Manager: "We thought about changing this color".

[@mjonausk]

Young padawan. There is nothing worse that thinking you are in dev or test, then making many changes only to realise you are in prod.

[@popoyyhmwhy7234]

this is nice for development :)

[@darkdragon6449]

Helpful!

[@pollafattah7062]

What are the limits of this emulator. Can I use it for like storing and archiving my personal data. As I prefer them to be offline

[@ihorbondarenko9754]

Can I run the ui part without existing project?

[@MoeSalih]

Can we get that table view for Firestore?

[@HOLONIA4EVER]

Is there a repo for this example ?

[@rahulsriram6295]

What font is that on VSCode?

[@climentea]

Awsome!

[@bmackey]

Awesome stuff, looks like we're one step closer to self-hosted Firebase 👍

Hi, How to setup pubSub locally?

[@DanKardell]

How do we access this with xCode?

[@dheerajs2838]

how to use emulator with flutter mobile app ?

[@Ondal1]

How would you get a flutter app running up against the local emulator?

[@radikalbeats]

when you init the config to the firebase project just use the localhost endpoint for the emulator, similar to how they do it at 4:51

[@tastyhealthydiy6610]

firebase emulator start Error: emulator is not a Firebase command.. How to solve this?

[@mmporg94]

firebase emulators:start

[@SergioCondoriMamani]

no funciona , por mas que le doy vueltas al asunto no paso de este error: Uncaught Error: Service database is not available

[@aorusaki]

Funny but informative video :)

[@joaoeudes7]

Despite being a novelty, it still needs improvements such as: firestore dont import json! :/ jobs and pubs not avaliable :/ I await next versions :)

[@MohanRaj-qh8jb]

$ firebase init Error: Failed to authenticate, have you run firebase login? I am facing this issue, How to resolve this?

[@SampathLokuge]

Have you run firebase login?

[@yocheeseify]

Hey, that pub/sub emulator video :eyes

[@sreejithsreejayan441]

I have a feeling this is a small step in canceling the free tier in firebase

[@IanasAlexandruCornel]

Yesterday, I wrote a script to move all my data from a collection to another and I was thinking they need a move feature for this. Today I see this clone feature. 😄

[@artihlec]

Error: TIMEOUT: Port 8080 on localhost was not active within 60000ms what a joke! it just doesn't work out of the box | I heard that using nodejs version 16 may help...really? my current version is v17.3 EDIT: yep, using nodejs-lts-gallium (16.13.2) solved the issue

[@maiconm]

great

[@sudeepgurung284]

pub/sub emulator video pls.

[@albertalbaba5101]

I was not aske d the option of an emulator

[@juanurdaneta9844]

I want the video on the pubsub D:

[@retro6556]

show us the pubsub emulator! :)

[@JulienReszka]

Don't trust the shills in the comments. This emulator is still very limited.

[@uchennaiheanacho1]

Please do the pub/sub video 🙏

[@artihlec]

import { getDatabase, connectDatabaseEmulator } from "firebase/database"; const db = getDatabase(); if (location.hostname === "localhost") { connectDatabaseEmulator(db, "localhost", 9000); }

[@shiv366]

Always make separate videos and explain each features individually. This short video is of no use. Take a real example and explain the working code.

[@dzivojelic]

Emulator opens 3 new windows on start is there a way to disable that ?

[@rahulsriram6295]

What font is that on VSCode?
