How to NOT Screw Up Firebase Environment Variables

I read about that, firebase cloud functions takes yours .env in execution time and not when compiling time. So be careful if u want to put there yours firebase-admin sdk credentials, it wont work :( but for others vars it is fire!

doesn't work now

Can't you just git ignore your .env files instead of using secret manager?

The only odd thing is that you need to have all .env files on the root of your project, I like to keep them on a separate folder to be more organized but looks like thats not possible right now :/

This was a lifesaver!!!

Can anyone tell me where are those icons from? theme?

Thanks for sharing!

More videos about firebase please.

lmaoo firebase is trolling with their pattern. They only introduced .env files now ? RIP

good one Jeff.

You might want to think about franchising your channel or hiring someone to do the same thing on a different topic but with the same format. Things like ML, Cybersecurity, HPC, and so on. The format is obviously the secret sauce, but the topics you cover are what you feel most comfortable with, i.e. frontend development. Time to scale! :)

I have been using it since it's in beta

Anybody know what file icons he has? I want.

You should talk about CQRS and Event Sourcing :)

Was this a thing in nextjs or am trippin'?

Super important

What a coincidence, currently working with cloud functions

Does this channel have any specific purpose, or just more videos from you?

At this point I put fireship on my CV

Recently Integrated secret manager in my company's tech 😇

Laravel already had this a billion years ago.

yesterday you have 20k subs
today is 39.5k
Love your new channel 🥰

AWS Lambdas have something very similar in a yaml format for a while now.

Little me, who thought fireship owns firebase

i might like this channel more than your main one

Do never commit a .env file

Awesome video

this channel will hit 100k soon

yummy my hero

Yuck, Firebase

React and next js you gotta prefix every var

You sound like fireship

Rails has it better with an encrypted production file. Then all the server needs is the key. This way is weird with .env for dev and Secret Manager for prod.

The main issue here is that secret manager is expensive. The previous way was free and really good. Now Google found a way to monetize even using env files.

Love your "Hi mom"s you always include your videos :)

You should make one about AWS too

Been a while since you didn't do a firebase video. Glad to see you back to the sources ! (and thanks for the pro-tip too)

Just dont use nosql dbs

Just for reference, if you're in Microsoft land, you can store secrets in azure keyvault

This new way seems a little bit cleaner. And you don't forget where they are😅

Fireship is as great as always the main channel was!!! 😁

Stoked for this channel!

since when is the terminal developer non friendly

I don't use firebase nor cloud functions so I've always used .env files for my projects. Just add it to the .gitignore and it won't be committed. If I need one in a repo without sensitive information I make a .env.example with empty values for the sensitive fields.
