GitHub Actions for Firebase

This Action for firebase-tools enables arbitrary actions with the firebase command-line client.

Inputs

• args - Required. This is the arguments you want to use for the firebase cli

Environment variables

• FIREBASE_TOKEN - Required. The token to use for authentication. This token can be aquired through the firebase login:ci command.

• PROJECT_ID - Optional. To specify a specific project to use for all commands, not required if you specify a project in your .firebaserc file.

• PROJECT_PATH - Optional. The path to firebase.json if it doesn't exist at the root of your repository. e.g. ./my-app

Example

To authenticate with Firebase, and deploy to Firebase Hosting:

name: Build and Deploy
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Repo
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: npm install
      - name: Build
        run: npm run build-prod
      - name: Archive Production Artifact
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@master
        with:
          name: dist
          path: dist
  deploy:
    name: Deploy
    needs: build
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Repo
        uses: actions/checkout@master
      - name: Download Artifact
        uses: actions/download-artifact@master
        with:
          name: dist
      - name: Deploy to Firebase
        uses: w9jds/firebase-action@master
        with:
          args: deploy --only hosting
        env:
          FIREBASE_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.FIREBASE_TOKEN }}

If you have multiple hosting environments you can specify which one in the args line. e.g. args: deploy --only hosting:[environment name]

Recommendation

If you decide to do seperate jobs for build and deployment (which is probably advisable), then make sure to clone your repo as the Firebase-cli requires the firebase repo to deploy (specifically the firebase.json)
