How the App Works 📲

Authentication

The app uses Google OAuth 2.0 for user authentication, allowing access to your Firebase projects. A short-lived access token is obtained to interact with your Firebase data securely.

Data Management

• Device Tokens: Temporarily stored to send real-time notifications regarding updates to Firebase projects.
• Operations Data: Tracks and stores information about the actions performed within the app, which is used for analytics and user history.

Scopes Used

• Google Cloud Platform: Accesses and manages your Google Cloud data.
• Cloud Datastore API: Views and manages your Google Cloud Datastore data.

User Rights

Users have the right to access, control, and request the deletion of their data. Access granted through Google OAuth 2.0 can be revoked at any time.

Notifications

The app uses Cloud Functions to handle notifications, ensuring real-time updates on Firebase projects.

Description of App's Features Functionality

Your Projects

This section lists all the projects associated with the account you are currently signed in to. You can navigate to project details, which lists the databases of that particular project.

Adding Collections

After selecting a database, you can add collections. The collection name should exactly match the collection name in your Firebase project (case sensitive). In the collections, you can view the documents, create new documents, delete existing documents, and perform batch operations.

Batch Operations (Exclusive Feature)

Batch operations allow you to add or delete fields from multiple documents at once. You can even download the document data (single or multiple) in JSON format and use it in your other applications.

Version Control System (Exclusive Feature)

This app has a version control system that keeps track of updates in the database, listing details such as project ID, database ID, collection ID, document ID, the field that is updated, operation type (update, add, delete), time and date of the update, and the user who updated it. This ensures transparency, a feature that is not present in the Firebase console.

Real-time Notifications (Exclusive Feature)

Real-time notifications are sent to all users when a record is updated, a feature that is not available in the Firebase console.

Document Operations

You can go to each document to update field values and types, add or delete fields, and more.

Analytics (Exclusive Feature)

View simple analytics of operations performed in the last 30 days. This feature provides insight into your database activity.

Getting Started 📍

Step 1: Fork the Repository

Start by forking the repository to your own GitHub account. This will allow you to make changes and deploy the app from your own copy of the code.

Step 2: Set Up a Firebase Project

• Use the Firebase CLI to set up a new Firebase project.
• Follow the instructions to connect the Firebase Editor app to your Firebase project.

Step 3: Configure Google Cloud Console

• Go to the Google Cloud Console and navigate to the Firebase project you set up.
• Enable OAuth and set up OAuth credentials.
• Make sure to include the following OAuth scopes:
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/datastore
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
  • https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.messaging

Step 4: Set Up Notifications

• For real-time notifications, you need to set up your own server to manage OAuth 2.0 credentials.
• In this project, we have used Google Cloud Functions, which is the recommended approach.
• Set up Cloud Functions in your Firebase project to handle notifications and other server-side operations.
