firebase-action

A composite action that installs firebase-tools from firebase.tools and sets up the credentials by way of a service account. This does not require nodejs or npm.

The result of installing the firebase command will be cached to speed up next workflow runs. The action will check if the latest version of firebase is installed, and upgrade if this is not the case. Sending analytics is disabled using the analytics=false option.

The version of firebase-tools can also be specified, and the action will make sure that version is installed.

How to use in your workflow

Include the action, passing the json service account secret (just paste the json text as a Github Actions secret). The serviceAccount parameter can be omitted, for example if you are using the firebase command for running emulators and such.

  - name: Setup Firebase
    uses: littlerobots/firebase-action@v1
    with:
      serviceAccount: ${{ secrets.MY_FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT }}
      # optional version, defaults to latest version
      version: 12.4.3
      
 # somewhere later in your workflow access the installed firebase tool
  
  - name: Firebase deploy
    run: |
      firebase deploy
