Migrating an existing Firebase project to Nx

To bring an existing Firebase project into an Nx workspace, simply generate the Nx Firebase application(s) first, and then just overwrite the generated Firebase configuration & rules/indexes with your existing firebase.json, rules & index files etc..

See also Nx Versions for further information on specific Nx version migrations.

For your Firebase functions, generate a function application and copy your existing source code to this new project src directory.

From here, you can simply nx build and nx deploy your firebase application & functions.

Firebase SDK versions

Which version of the Firebase CLI + SDK's you use will depend on your particular project requirements, and this plugin is not opinionated to any particular Firebase SDK.

The nx-firebase plugin app generator will install Firebase dependencies in the workspace if they are not already present, but it does not require, enforce or change a specific version beyond that initial setup, so you are free to install whichever versions of the firebase SDK packages you need.
