Firebase local tips

If you're getting the following error error: Failed to parse private key: Error: Invalid PEM formatted message when using Firebase locally. Try replacing the following with the following:

export class Database { public database: admin.database.Database; constructor() { const app = admin.apps.find((it: any) => it?.name === "[DEFAULT]") || admin.initializeApp({ credential: admin.credential.cert({ projectId: config.FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID, clientEmail: config.FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL, privateKey: config.FIREBASE_PRIVATE_KEY!.replace(/\\n/gm, "\n"), }), databaseURL: config.FIREBASE_DATABASE }); this.database = getDatabase(app); }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
export class Database { public database: admin.database.Database; constructor() { const app = admin.initializeApp({ credential: { getAccessToken: () => Promise.resolve({ access_token: 'foo', expires_in: 3600 }), }, databaseURL: `${config.FIREBASE_URL_WITH_PORT}/?ns=demo-yourprojectname`, }); this.database = getDatabase(app); }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
