New open-source plugin brings IDE support to Firebase Security Rules

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

Developer Lezli01 released hotrulez, a free JetBrains plugin that adds syntax highlighting, formatting, and error diagnostics for Firebase Security Rules files. The plugin targets developers editing .rules files in Android Studio or IntelliJ. It does not evaluate security or replace the Firebase Emulator Suite.

Meridian48 take
A welcome quality-of-life improvement for Firebase developers, but the plugin's lack of security evaluation means it's no substitute for rigorous testing.
