🏗️ Installation

1. Add nuxt-flame dependency to your project

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D nuxt-flame firebase firebase-admin

# Using yarn
yarn add --dev nuxt-flame firebase firebase-admin

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev nuxt-flame firebase firebase-admin

2. Add nuxt-flame to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts and specify Firebase credentials in runtimeConfig

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    "nuxt-flame"
  ],

  runtimeConfig: {
    firebaseAdminCredentials: {
      projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
      clientEmail: process.env.FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL,
      privateKey: process.env.FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY,
    },

    public: {
      firebaseCredentials: {
        apiKey: process.env.FIREBASE_API_KEY,
        authDomain: process.env.FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
        projectId: process.env.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
        storageBucket: process.env.FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
        messagingSenderId: process.env.FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
        appId: process.env.FIREBASE_APP_ID,
        measurementId: process.env.FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID,
      },
    },
  },
})

3. Create .env file and put your credentials there

// Web credentials from code snippet provided by Google Firebase
FIREBASE_API_KEY=********
FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN=********
FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID=********
FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET=********
FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID=********
FIREBASE_APP_ID=********
FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID=********

// Admin credentials from service account key (JSON)
FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL=********
FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY="-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
****************************************************
****************************************************
****************************************************
****************************************************
****************************************************
****************************************************
**************************
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----"

4. (Optional) Feel free to configure Nuxt Flame in nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ...

  /**
   * Default Nuxt Flame settings
   */
  flame: {
    authApiEndpoint: "/api/__session",
    authCookieName: "__session",

    emulators: {
      enabled: false,

      auth: {
        enabled: false,
        url: "http://127.0.0.1:9099",
        options: {
          disableWarnings: false,
        },
      },

      firestore: {
        enabled: false,
        host: "127.0.0.1",
        port: 8080,
      },

      database: {
        enabled: false,
        host: "127.0.0.1",
        port: 9000,
      },

      functions: {
        enabled: false,
        host: "127.0.0.1",
        port: 5001,
      },

      storage: {
        enabled: false,
        host: "127.0.0.1",
        port: 9199,
      },
    },
  },

  // ...
})

That's it! You can now use Nuxt Flame in your Nuxt app ✨

Usage

Nuxt Flame exports bunch of Firebase helpers (Vue composables) that available both client and server side.

Firebase Apps

const app = useFirebaseApp()        // client-side
const admin = useFirebaseAdminApp() // server-side

Firebase Auth

Basic usage:

// Firebase Auth instance (client only)
const auth = useAuth()

// Firebase Auth instance with admin credentials (server only)
const auth = useServerAuth()

// Get current user
// ❗️ Client returns `User` object when server returns `DecodedIdToken` object
const currentUser = useCurrentUser()

Authentication example using Google provider:

import { GoogleAuthProvider, signInWithPopup, signOut } from "@firebase/auth"
import { useAuth, useCurrentUser } from "#imports"

const auth = useAuth()
const currentUser = useCurrentUser()

const login = async () => {
  if (!auth) return

  await signInWithPopup(auth, new GoogleAuthProvider())
}

const logout = async () => {
  if (!auth) return

  await signOut(auth)
}

Firestore

Get Firebase Firestore instance:

const db = useFirestore()

Documents

// Get single document (SSR friendly)
const post = await useAsyncDocument("posts", "1")

// Get single document (async)
const { data, loading, error, refresh } = useDocument("posts", "1")

// Subscribe to document changes
const { data, loading, error, unsubscribe } = useDocumentSubscribe("posts", "1")

// Don't forget to unsubsribe
onUnmounted(() => unsubscribe())

Collections

// Get collection documents (SSR friendly)
const posts = await useAsyncCollection("posts")

// Get collection documents (async)
const { data, loading, error, refresh } = useCollection("posts")

// Subscribe to collection changes
const { data, loading, error, unsubscribe } = useCollectionSubscribe("posts")

// Don't forget to unsubsribe
onUnmounted(() => unsubscribe())

Collection Queries

import { where, orderBy } from "firebase/firestore"

// Get collection documents with query (SSR friendly)
const posts = await useAsyncCollection("posts", {
  conditions: [
    where("author", "==", "Andrew Kodkod"),
    orderBy("createdAt", "desc"),
  ],
})

// Get collection documents with query (async)
const { data, loading, error, refresh } = useCollection("posts", {
  conditions: [
    where("author", "==", "Andrew Kodkod"),
    orderBy("createdAt", "desc"),
  ],
})

Cloud Functions

Get Firebase Cloud Functions instance:

const functions = useFunctions()

Call https callable Cloud Function:

const archivePost = useFunction("archivePost")

const onArchive = async () => {
  const result = await archivePost.performAsync({ postId: "1", reason: "Spam" })
}

Realtime Database

Get Firebase Realtime Database instance:

const db = useDatabase()

Cloud Storage

Get Firebase Cloud Storage instance:

const storage = useStorage()

Enable Emulators

// nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  // ...

  flame: {
    emulators: {
      enabled: process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production",
    }
  }

  // ...
})
