JSON Editor
The JSON Editor lets you edit Firestore documents in raw JSON form. It’s useful when making larger changes, working with deeply nested data, or when you simply prefer JSON over the inline editor. Like the Script Editor, it has built-in validation, formatting, and wrapping features to keep your edits clean and consistent.
Using the JSON Editor
Section titled “Using the JSON Editor”To open the JSON Editor, choose Edit as JSON from a document’s context menu. While editing the document, Firelize validates the JSON continuously and highlights invalid parts with a red underline.
When your edits are complete, apply your changes by clicking Update Doc or pressing CMD/CTRL
+ Enter
. Until you run Update Doc, the original document in Firestore remains unchanged.
Saving and Loading Files
Section titled “Saving and Loading Files”You can save the current document as a local JSON file or load an existing one from disk. Use Save to Disk (or CMD/CTRL
+ S
) to create a local copy, and Load from Disk (or CMD/CTRL
+ O
) to reopen it later. This makes it easy to keep backups or reuse JSON structures across projects and tools.
Formatting and Wrapping
Section titled “Formatting and Wrapping”The Format button reformats the document using the built-in Prettier formatter. The Wrap option toggles line wrapping, either breaking long lines to fit within the editor window or keeping them on a single scrollable line.
