Firebase provides the tools and infrastructureyou need to develop your app, grow your user base, and earn money. The FirebaseAdmin Node.js SDK enables access to Firebase services from privileged environments(such as servers or cloud) in Node.js.

For more information, visit theFirebase Admin SDK setup guide.

The Firebase Admin Node.js SDK is available on npm asfirebase-admin:

$ npm install --save firebase-admin

To use the module in your application,require it from any JavaScript file:

const{ initializeApp}=require("firebase-admin/app");initializeApp();

If you are using ES2015, you canimport the module instead:

import{initializeApp}from"firebase-admin/app";initializeApp();

Please refer to theCONTRIBUTING page for more informationabout how you can contribute to this project. We welcome bug reports, featurerequests, code review feedback, and also pull requests.

We support Node.js 12 and higher.

Please also note that the Admin SDK should onlybe used in server-side/back-end environments controlled by the app developer.This includes most server and serverless platforms (both on-premise and inthe cloud). It is not recommended to use the Admin SDK in client-sideenvironments.
