How do I switch apps from the firebase cli?

Question

This seems like something which should be pretty easy to do, but for whatever reason, I\'m being defeated.

I\'m trying to use the firebase-tools CLI to interact with

Answer 1

I rather use scripts. Consider a project structure like this:

your-project
├── .firebaserc
└── functions
   ├── package.json
   └── index.js

Go to .firebaserc and follow the next example

{
  "projects": {
    "default": "project-name",
    "prod": "other-name"
  }
}

Then go to package.json and add the following scripts (changeToProd, and changeToDev).

{
  ...
  "scripts": {
    ...
    "changeToProd": "firebase use prod",
    "changeToDev": "firebase use default"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    ...
  },
  ...
}

If your IDE support npm scripts you can run them using the IDE UI, otherwise it can be run using the command console. Make sure you are inside the functions folder.

npm run-script changeToProd

You can verify your current project by running the following command from the terminal or added to the scripts as we just did
