Emulator Support

Fuego provides built-in support for Firebase Emulators, making it easy to develop and test your projects locally.

Automatic Detection

  • If your emulators are running on the default ports, Fuego will automatically detect them when the app starts.
  • If detection takes too long, you can manually trigger it:
    • macOS: CMD + D
    • Windows/Linux: CTRL + D
    • Or click the Search Emulators button in the left sidebar. Automatic emulator detection in Fuego

Manual Connection

If your emulator is not running on the default ports, you can still connect it manually:

  1. Go to Add Project.
  2. Select Connect to Emulator. Add Project
  3. Enter the custom host and port settings. Add Host and port

Using the Emulator

Once connected, you can use Fuego just like with a standard Firebase project. However, there is one key difference:

  • By default, the Firestore emulator provides a single database named (default).
  • To work with additional databases, you must explicitly add them:
    1. Open Project Details. Project details
    2. Click Add Database. Add Database
    3. Confirm to create and connect the new database.
