Currently, I am experimenting with the Firebase Emulator on a local project built on Nextjs. Following the instructions provided by Firebase here, I attempted to utilize
db.useEmulator('localhost', 8080);An uncaught TypeError: db.useEmulator is not a function
at Module.eval (VM79706 firebase.js:30)
at eval (VM79706 firebase.js:91)
at Module../utils/firebase.js (_app.js?ts=1603918354205:23994)
...
I have successfully used the emulator to test cloud functions, but I am struggling to connect it with Firestore.
This is how I configured Firebase:
import firebase from 'firebase/app';
import 'firebase/auth';
import 'firebase/firestore';
import 'firebase/storage';
import 'firebase/analytics';
const clientCredentials = {
apiKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_API_KEY,
authDomain: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_AUTH_DOMAIN,
databaseURL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_DATABASE_URL,
projectId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID,
storageBucket: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_STORAGE_BUCKET,
messagingSenderId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_SENDER_ID,
appId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_APP_ID,
measurementId: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_FIREBASE_MEASUREMENT_ID
};
// Ensure `window` is available for the analytics module!
if (typeof window !== 'undefined' && !firebase.apps.length) {
firebase.initializeApp(clientCredentials);
if ('measurementId' in clientCredentials) firebase.analytics();
const db = firebase.firestore();
if (process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_DB_HOST === 'localhost') {
db.useEmulator('localhost', 8080);
}
}
export default firebase;
Could anyone shed light on why this error is occurring and guide me on connecting the Firebase emulator with Nextjs?
