How do I deploy Firebase Database Security rules using the command line?

Question

In older versions of Firebase, we could add a rules section to our firebase.json file, and upload new security rules on every deploy.

Answer 1

To deploy a new set of security rules, add a rules top-level key to your firebase.json.

Example firebase.json file:

{
  "rules": "firebase_rules.json",
  "hosting": {
    "public": "doc",
    "ignore": [
      "firebase.json",
      "**/.*",
      "**/node_modules/**"
    ]
  }
}

The firebase_rules.json is a JSON file that contains the security rules. Here's an example:

{
  "rules": {
    ".read": false,
    ".write": false
  }
}

When you run firebase deploy, it will send the contents of firebase_rules.json to the server, replacing/updating any rules configurations.
