Firebase App

This package coordinates the communication between the different Firebase components

Functions

Function Description
function(app, ...)
deleteApp(app) Renders this app unusable and frees the resources of all associated services.
function()
getApps() A (read-only) array of all initialized apps.
initializeApp() Creates and initializes a FirebaseApp instance.
function(libraryKeyOrName, ...)
registerVersion(libraryKeyOrName, version, variant) Registers a library's name and version for platform logging purposes.
function(logCallback, ...)
onLog(logCallback, options) Sets log handler for all Firebase SDKs.
function(logLevel, ...)
setLogLevel(logLevel) Sets log level for all Firebase SDKs.All of the log types above the current log level are captured (i.e. if you set the log level to info, errors are logged, but debug and verbose logs are not).
function(name, ...)
getApp(name) Retrieves a FirebaseApp instance.When called with no arguments, the default app is returned. When an app name is provided, the app corresponding to that name is returned.An exception is thrown if the app being retrieved has not yet been initialized.
function(options, ...)
initializeApp(options, name) Creates and initializes a FirebaseApp instance.See Add Firebase to your app and Initialize multiple projects for detailed documentation.
initializeApp(options, config) Creates and initializes a FirebaseApp instance.
initializeServerApp(options, config) Creates and initializes a FirebaseServerApp instance.The FirebaseServerApp is similar to FirebaseApp, but is intended for execution in server side rendering environments only. Initialization will fail if invoked from a browser environment.See Add Firebase to your app and Initialize multiple projects for detailed documentation.

Interfaces

Interface Description
FirebaseApp A FirebaseApp holds the initialization information for a collection of services.Do not call this constructor directly. Instead, use initializeApp() to create an app.
FirebaseAppSettings Configuration options given to initializeApp()
FirebaseOptions Firebase configuration object. Contains a set of parameters required by services in order to successfully communicate with Firebase server APIs and to associate client data with your Firebase project and Firebase application. Typically this object is populated by the Firebase console at project setup. See also: Learn about the Firebase config object.
FirebaseServerApp A FirebaseServerApp holds the initialization information for a collection of services running in server environments.Do not call this constructor directly. Instead, use initializeServerApp() to create an app.
FirebaseServerAppSettings Configuration options given to initializeServerApp()

Variables

Variable Description
SDK_VERSION The current SDK version.
