Gatsby Firebase Source

Quick and dirty firebase source for Gatsby. Allows you to query your firebase data right into your statically generated pages with Gatsby.

Usage

1. First you need a Private Key from firebase for privileged environments, find out how to get it here: firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup (or click the settings gear > Service accounts tab > Generate New Private Key button at the bottom)

2. Place that private key .json file somewhere in your gatsby project (the root is fine).

3. Configure gatsby-config.js

// the plugin options are:
{
  credential
  databaseURL
  types: [{
    type
    path
    query,
    map
  }]
}

// Here's an example:

module.exports = {
  // the rest of your config
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-firebase`,
      options: {
        // point to the firebase private key downloaded
        credential: require("./firebase-key.json"),

        // your firebase database root url
        databaseURL: "
