🔥 Simple Firebase REST API

Firebase & Next.js | Blazing-fast and serverless REST API

Why?

I created this demo app to showcase in my Operating Systems class for reading, adding, and deleting items from Firestore with just a few clicks. It also serves as a simple Next.js starter project integrated with Firebase Firestore, making replication easy.

The reason behind this project was the need to receive data from a microcontroller using FreeRTOS and store this data in a database for further analysis and potential integration into other applications.

Using this code

Remember to update the configuration in /lib/firebase.ts (the current one will only work for a few more days).

import { initializeApp } from "firebase/app";
import { getAuth } from "firebase/auth";
import { getFirestore } from "firebase/firestore";

// ============================================================
// ============================================================
// ========= Put your own Firebase configuration here =========

const firebaseConfig = {
  apiKey: "AIzaSyCxqCyglAG9tUQlp8hxqpQFlJLKnog0h-w",
  authDomain: "os-example-313ee.firebaseapp.com",
  projectId: "os-example-313ee",
  storageBucket: "os-example-313ee.appspot.com",
  messagingSenderId: "754955767049",
  appId: "1:754955767049:web:f03b3eadd402e31a9fd7d8",
  measurementId: "G-SRV4Y5K1XE",
};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
export const auth = getAuth(app);
export const db = getFirestore(app);

Sample curl to test with external data:

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/firebase \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"data": {"lat": -37.82, "lon": 144.98}}'
