Encountering deployment issues due to importing a .json credential file for functions.
- During the initialization of Firebase functions, I opted for TypeScript.
- Subsequently, after configuring my functions in TypeScript, I attempted to import the .json file containing the project credentials necessary for firebase-admin usage.
/functions (Folder)
tsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"lib": ["es6"],
"module": "commonjs",
"noImplicitReturns": true,
"outDir": "lib",
"sourceMap": true,
"target": "es6",
"types" : [ "node" ],
"esModuleInterop": true,
"resolveJsonModule": true,
},
"compileOnSave": true,
"include": [
"src",
"./typings.d.ts"
]
}
typings.d.ts:
declare module "*.json" {
const value: any;
export default value;
}
package.json:
{
"name": "functions",
"scripts": {
"lint": "tslint --project tsconfig.json",
"build": "tsc",
"serve": "npm run build && firebase serve --only functions",
"shell": "npm run build && firebase functions:shell",
"start": "npm run shell",
"deploy": "firebase deploy --only functions",
"logs": "firebase functions:log"
},

"dependencies": {
"firebase-admin": "~6.0.0",
"firebase-functions": "^2.0.3"
},
"devDependencies": {
"tslint": "~5.8.0",
"typescript": "~2.8.3"
},
"private": true
}
functions/src/
-- serviceAccountKey.json
-- index.ts
index.ts:
import * as admin from 'firebase-admin';
import * as serviceAccount from './serviceAccountKey.json';
admin.initializeApp({
credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
databaseURL: "DATABASE-URL"
});
The deployment fails when attempting to import the file, whereas without the import everything functions normally.
Error:

Try running "npm install" in your functions directory before deploying.
