firebase-tokenize - a command-line utility for super simple token creation

[Abe Haskins]

Hey Firebuddies,

I wanted to share something I just hacked up - firebase-tokenize a command-line utility that lets you generate tokens super easy. 

It works like this...

firebase-tokenize -n yourFirebase '{"uid": "america", "is": "bestest"}'

And it spits out a token! Simple, eh? It has options for expirations, not-befores, debug/admin tokens, etc. 

Best of all, since firebase-tokenize uses your existing stored credentials from firebase-tools, you don't even need to log in.

Check it out! You've got literally nothing to lose.

npm install -g firebase-tokenize

Remember, using a Firebase secret for authentication, even on servers is not good! Generate a custom token with a custom server flag and write your rules against that instead :) 

Best,

Abe

P.S. All credit goes to the Portland International Airport - without their free Wi-Fi and delayed flights, we wouldn't have this tool.

Oh I have really wanted something better than my manual node script. +1

Nice one, Abe! You've one-upped my old web-based tool for messing with tokens. I'll have to add this one to my toolbox for sure.

Thank goodness for Portland and weather.
