Exports, Imports & Transfers

With Firelize, you can export, import, and transfer data both within a project and across projects. Query options let you target exactly the data you need, and built-in emulator support makes it easy to move data between local and remote environments.

Starting a New Job

You can start a new job by selecting Export, Import, or Transfer from a context menu, or by dragging and dropping a doc or collection onto another. Drag & drop also works across multiple windows, making it a quick way to move data between projects.

Configuring the Job

In the job layer, you can add multiple paths. Each path has a Use Query option, which allows you to apply where, orderBy, and limit clauses to narrow down the export to specific docs. See the Queries page for more details.

Recursive Exports

To include all nested collections when exporting a collection or document, enable the Recursive Export option. This makes the process significantly slower, as Firelize performs an additional listCollections call for each document to discover subcollections.

Note

Firelize can’t read non-existing ancestors. Make sure every collection has an existing ancestor before attempting a recursive export.
