An experimental protoc plugin that generates Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Firestore from Protocol Buffer definitions.
Firebase Rules Protobuf Validation is an experimental protoc plugin that generates Firebase Security Rules for Cloud Firestore from Protocol Buffer definitions. It solves the problem of manually writing and maintaining security rules by automatically producing validation functions based on protobuf schemas, ensuring data consistency and reducing errors.
Developers using Firebase Cloud Firestore who already define their data structures with Protocol Buffers and want to automate the creation of corresponding security validation rules.
It provides a declarative, schema-first approach to Firestore security rules, reducing boilerplate and ensuring that validation logic stays in sync with data definitions across different parts of the application stack.
This is an experimental protoc plugin that generates Firebase Rules for Cloud Firestore based on Google's Protocol Buffer format. This allows you to easily validate your data in a platform independent manner.

Generates Firebase Rules functions that validate document data against protobuf message structures, including required fields and nested messages, as demonstrated in the Person example.
Supports custom protobuf options for advanced validation like regex patterns and enum string representations, allowing precise data constraints.
Provides dedicated Bazel rules (firestore_rules_proto_library) for seamless integration into existing Bazel-based projects, simplifying the build process.
Enables data validation logic to be defined once in protobuf and reused across multiple platforms, reducing duplication and ensuring consistency.
Maintained on a best-effort basis and not an official Firebase product, so it may have bugs and lack long-term support.
Focuses on generating validation functions; complex security logic like user authentication or role-based access must still be written manually.
Requires manual installation of protoc and the plugin, with additional steps for proto paths, which can be cumbersome for non-Bazel users.
