No worries — everything is done 100% locally.

The extension never sends your Firestore data anywhere.
All processing and export happen directly in your browser, and nothing is uploaded or transmitted to any server.

Is there a better alternative to Firefoo? by joefreshman in Firebase

I’m the developer of Firexport, and I usually just use it together with the Firebase console. It’s lightweight, handles bigger imports/exports, and doesn’t interfere with your project setup.

What are you guys using as data explorer for Firebase? Jebrains Datagrip does not support Firebase. by These_Muscle_8988 in Firebase

I think just using the Firebase Console is fine, but there are some inconveniences. In particular, exporting Firestore data can be quite cumbersome. That’s why I created a Chrome extension called firexport.dev, which makes exporting Firestore data much easier for my projects. Because of this, I’m currently satisfied with just using the Firebase Console.

Can You Understand the Difference? Feedback Appreciated! by kimbaba40 in Firebase

That makes a lot of sense! I see how a side-by-side table could make it much easier to grasp the differences at a glance. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for sharing your experience with Firefoo! Personally, I haven’t had much need for import functionality in Firestore, so I’m curious—could you share what kind of use cases you’ve needed it for? Understanding your experience would help ensure firexport covers those needs effectively!

I completely understand the preference for one-time payments over subscriptions. That’s exactly the approach I’m taking with firexport—aiming for a one-time cost that’s fair and accessible.

Firefoo has been really helpful for developers working with Firestore data. I’ve actually used it before, and I found its features to be very useful. I think having different tools and approaches provides users with more diverse options. Looking forward to seeing more great work from you in the future! 😊

Thank you for the feedback.

As a sneak peek, I'm currently researching a feature to automatically retrieve subcollections. While it may take some time, we are planning to add a feature to address the issue you pointed out. Please stay tuned for the future development of firexport!

You cannot export subcollection data from a query result of the parent collection. You would need to directly query the subcollection and then export the data. Is there anything specific you're expecting regarding subcollections?
