Firebase Access Viewer: Visualize Network Requests to Firebase Services
Firebase Access Viewer is a Chrome add-on developed by hiropon that allows users to visualize network requests to Firebase services such as Firestore and Storage. This free add-on provides valuable insights into the network activity of Firebase services.
One of the standout features of Firebase Access Viewer is the flashing badge on the icon, which alerts users when a Firebase service is accessed. This visual cue helps users quickly identify when a network request is being made to a Firebase service.
Clicking on the icon opens a list of the last 100 accesses, providing users with a comprehensive view of the recent network activity. This list serves as a valuable tool for monitoring and troubleshooting network requests. Additionally, clicking on an access to Firestore in the list allows users to view the details of the query, providing deeper visibility into the data being accessed.
By offering visibility into network requests, Firebase Access Viewer simplifies the process of detecting infinite loops and unwanted accesses. It is important to note that this extension requires the Devtools to be opened in order to use it effectively.
Overall, Firebase Access Viewer is a useful Chrome add-on for developers working with Firebase services. Its ability to visualize network requests and provide detailed information makes it a valuable tool for monitoring and troubleshooting network activity.
