Programmatic Usage

1. First you need a Private Key from firebase for privileged environments, find out how to get it here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup (or replace YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_HERE with your project name here : https://console.firebase.google.com/project/YOUR_PROJECT_NAME_HERE/settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk)

2. Place that private key .json file somewhere in your project.

3. Take note of your databaseURL
4. Create a schema for the data schema. Check generate-json or the examples for the schema format.

// Import it in your project

import { generateFirestoreData } from "generate-firestore-data";
// Or
const { generateFirestoreData } = require("generate-firestore-data");

// Import firebase-admin
import firebase from "firebase-admin";
// Or
const firebase = require("firebase-admin");

// Use it

const databaseURL = "<FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL>";
const credential = require("./firebase-key.json");
const { schema, count, keyReducers } = require("./schema");
await generateFirestoreData(
  {
    schema,
    count,
    keyReducers
  },
  {
    firebase,
    credential,
    databaseURL
  }
);
