Vulcan - Firebase Data Inspector

Vulcan is a powerful tool for inspecting and manipulating your Firebase data directly from the Browser or Chrome DevTools.

Drop Vulcan into a web page

Vulcan can be used as plugin on your web page by simply including the script tags and css dependancies:

  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/vulcan.css">
  <script src="https://cdn.firebase.com/js/client/1.0.24/firebase.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="js/vulcan.js"></script>

Vulcan Chrome Plugin

To use Vulcan as a chrome plugin during development:

1. Go to settings in your browser
2. Navigate to Extensions
3. Check Developer mode
4. Click the Load unpacked extension... button
5. Select the chrome-extension directory
6. Open your dev tools
7. You should now have a Firebase tab

The production version of Vulcan is also available in the Chrome Store

Development

We use grunt for our build process. You can use the following commands:

• grunt dev - Builds the web and chrome extension in development mode and runs the demo on http://localhost:8000. All changes are processed automatically and live reloaded. The files in this mode are not compressed or uglified in order to make development easier.
• grunt - Builds the web and chrome extension in production ready mode. The files produced with this command are minified and uglified in order to optimize performance.
