Remote Configuration¶

This starter template uses Firebase Remote Config to change the behavior and appearance of the app without requiring users to download an app update. Head over to the Firebase documentation to check out how it works.

Parameters¶

The following parameters are available by default:

Name	Description	Type	Default value
`enable_anonymous_sign_in`	Enables anonymous sign in.	`boolean`	`false`
`enable_apple_sign_in`	Enables Apple sign in.	`boolean`	`false`
`enable_google_sign_in`	Enables Google sign in.	`boolean`	`false`
`feedback_email_address`	The email address to which users can send feedback.	`string`	`''`
`privacy_policy_url`	The URL to the privacy policy of the app.	`string`	`''`
`terms_of_service_url`	The URL to the terms of service of the app.	`string`	`''`

Deployment¶

The deployment of the configuration is done via the Firebase CLI or the Firebase Console. To deploy the configuration via the Firebase CLI, a template file is required. This starter template provides a template file at firebase/remoteconfig.template.json.

Firebase CLI (Manually)Firebase CLI (CI/CD)Firebase Console

To deploy the template file manually, run the following command:

npm run firebase:deploy:remoteconfig

See CI/CD.

If you choose to publish changes via the Firebase Console, you should either add new changes manually to the firebase/remoteconfig.template.json file so that they are not reverted during the next deployment, or you should disable the corresponding deployment step in the CI/CD pipeline (see CI/CD).

This is how you can download the current template file from the Firebase Console:

Download Remote Config file

The downloaded file contains a version property. Remove this property before copying the file content into the firebase/remoteconfig.template.json file:

{
    "parameters": {
        "enable_anonymous_sign_in": {
        "defaultValue": {
            "value": "true"
        },
        "valueType": "BOOLEAN"
        }
    },
-    "version": {
-        "versionNumber": "12",
-        "updateTime": "2024-01-03T09:31:10.912261Z",
-        "updateUser": {
-        "email": "robin@ionstarter.dev"
-        },
-        "updateOrigin": "REST_API",
-        "updateType": "INCREMENTAL_UPDATE"
-    }
}
