Change URL in new Firebase (from May 2016)

Question

Earlier, when using Firebase, it became possible to use our own URL, for example myapp.firebaseapp.com (including part of firebaseapp.com). But since May 2016, when I create the project, it receives an automatically generated URL, for example my-app-1c75b.firebaseio.com , and I can not find a place to edit it (since part 1c75b in the URL is not nice ) I want to know if there is a way to edit this as before?

Note. I do not want to use a paid domain, for example www.example.com. I just want to configure my Firebase address as myapp.firebaseapp.com

Answer 1

When you create a project in the new Firebase console, it will really add “random” code to the project name. There is currently no way to prevent this code in the new console.

If you upgrade an existing project from firebase.com in the new console, the application name will remain unchanged. Therefore, if you already have myapp.firebaseapp.com in the firebase.com project, you will save this URL after import / update.

Answer 2

When you create your project, the URL is based on the name of the project you are giving. If your project name is "Foo Bar", your URL will be https://foo-bar.firebaseapp.com (if not already accepted).

Answer 3

Last week, in the "Create Project" window, a possible subdomain of firebase.com was shown, which will be assigned when you enter the name of the project. At first it came - it was first serviced, so if you type a name that has already been accepted, it automatically adds a combination of characters at the end.

Today, the same window does not show that when typing, you can only see it after creating your project and going to the settings toolbar, there is no way to change this subdomain on the same panel.

Update 10.07.2017

I get a random hex number added from time to time, I cannot get a simple name, even if the name is supposedly original.

Answer 4

If you choose a name that is unique enough in Firebase, they will provide you with a domain for your application, as in https://myapp.firebaseio.com . I tried several times, sometimes it gives something like https: // project- (long-random-number-sequence) .firebaseio.com and at other times something like what you came across. My personal experience shows that if you give your application a name added to the "application", then you will be more likely to be unique and get a "good" URL.

When creating a new project, you will get a screen where you can enter a name. In the text box for the project id, you can enter the project identifier.

your project id must include a dash

when he doesn’t do this, he will say something like: he’s already in use or places the device itself, with some custom characters.

The project ID itself is fixed, so you must create a new project and copy everything.
