Setup

Until Firestore receives support for handling custom service accounts, the only way is to download the Firebase AdminSDK service account credentials for your project. This does give the plugin full access to your Firebase.

In order to build your site from another server, you'll also these credentials but: BE VERY CAREFUL HOW YOU TRANSPORT THEM! DO NOT PUSH THEM TO GITHUB OR ANY OTHER CODE REPOSITORY!

Set up Firebase AdminSDK service credentials

1. Navigate to the settings/serviceaccounts/adminsdk of your firebase project.
2. Make sure Firebase Admin SDK is selected, and click `Generate new private key``
3. Download the key and save it to the root of your project.
4. For the saftey of everyone included this line in your .gitignore file: *-firebase-adminsdk-*.json
