Using the firebase-cli you can easily deploy functions and show the logs. But I have yet to find the option to download or retrieve cloud functions.
I've dug through quiet a bit of the -h commands and nothing yet.
Is it possible to download / retrieve a projects cloud functions through the firebase-cli? I tend to switch between computers from home to work and I need to go to the console to copy the source code and redeploy.
The Firebase CLI doesn't provide a way to get deployed code. It's expected that you use some form of source control for managing code between developers and machines.

Following the Firebase examples to create and deploy a function, I keep failing at the deploy phase.
The error, with --debug enabled, shows:
<<< [apiv2][body] POST
https://cloudfunctions.googleapis.com/v1/projects/actus-poc2/locations/us-central1/functions
{"error":{"code":403,"message":"Cloud Functions uses Artifact Registry
to store function docker images. Artifact Registry API is not enabled
in your project. To enable the API, visit
https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/artifactregistry.googleapis.com/overview?project=...
Now I was expecting to be able to stay within the confines of the firebase console but this message seems to imply I need to open the Google Cloud Console to enable additional permissions.
Should the code samples better document this?
Or is this a recent change in firebase functions that breaks many of the existing examples?
I need to open the Google Cloud Console to enable additional permissions.
The reason why you need to use the Google Cloud Console is because Cloud Functions for Firebase relies on some Google Cloud services. See.
Function deployments with Firebase CLI 11.2.0 and higher rely on Cloud Build and Artifact Registry.
is this a recent change in firebase functions that breaks many of the existing examples?
Deployments to older versions also do rely on some Google Cloud services. Deployments to older versions use Cloud Build in the same way, but rely on Container Registry and Cloud Storage for storage instead of Artifact Registry.
Should the code samples better document this?
If you do think an update to said documentation could be helpful, here is more about opening Feature requests.
I just installed a Firebase extension, and can see it in my Console. How do I get my local Functions emulator to use the extension as well?
When I start the emulators using the CLI, I can see that the functions emulator is 'Watching [locally defined path] for Cloud Functions...', but no evidence that the Firebase extension is downloaded or otherwise watched somehow.
July 2022: It is now possible to run extensions in the emulator. See the documentation on using the Extensions Emulator to evaluate extensions for full details.
There's currently no built in support for running Extensions on Firebase's Emulator Suite yet.
Luckily Firebase Extensions are mostly "just" predefined Cloud Functions with some installation and configuration data. And since Cloud Functions can be emulated, you can get the same functionality locally with some work.
To run an extension on your local emulator, you will have to get the source of the extension (which is linked from the extension's page), and make the Cloud Functions (and possibly application) code connect to the emulators instead of the cloud-hosted services.
Update: There is a workaround, which of the engineers working on Extensions documented here.
I am working on a Firebase project that currently uses several Cloud Functions.
The thing is that I want to download or sync the Cloud Functions to the local environment on my laptop.
I mean some command using firebase-tools or another like:
git clone [project name]
git fetch [something]
Usually, we create some cloud functions using the Firebase Console, and I would like to have these functions locally to edit these when needed and deploy them again.
I know that firebase-tools have these two commands, but it is only for configurations:
functions:config:clone [options]
functions:config:get [options]
There's no provided solution for automatically copying or synchronizing functions that have already been deployed. You can certain get the source code for deployed functions, but the Firebase CLI will not automate that process for you.
Ideally, you will want to manage all of your functions from the same source control and CLI in order to deal with them all consistent. Editing functions from the console is primarily a convenience, not a proper deployment mechanism.
I'm trying to create a function to delete all users from the Database and write it on index.ts file and deploy it. Now, how can I run it?? I don't want my clients to run it from their mobile app, I need some admin tool to run the management functions. When I see cloud functions on Firebase console there's no option to run the functions, just to view their logs.
Cloud Functions isn't for running one-time scripts. You should do that on your local machine. Cloud Functions is for running code that responds to HTTP requests, or events that occur within other products in your project.
You may want to read this article: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2017/03/how-to-schedule-cron-jobs-with-cloud.html - it suggests using App Engine cron job for that purpose. Relevant project on github: https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/functions-cron
Also there's an example on similar topic in Firebase docs: https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/tree/master/delete-unused-accounts-cron
I have 100ds of functions deployed to firebase and I would like to know if I can list the remote functions on my machine using the firebase command line tools.
I want to see the list of functions deployed.
What I am trying to solve is:
Batch deploy functions to avoid deployment limit.
Deployment error when function deleted/renamed locally and then deploying whole functions.
Thanks!
I got the exact answer from Google support.
Currently, Firebase CLI doesn’t have any command to list deployed functions, whereas “gcloud functions list” CLI from Cloud SDK shows the list instead.
More details found here
While it doesn't seem to be documented here, you can list all deployed Cloud Functions when you have firebase-tools installed with firebase functions:list. The command is also mentioned in firebase --help.
Verified with firebase-tools version 10.5.0
At the time of writing this answer, there is no CLI command that allows listing all the deployed functions for your project. The available commands can be found here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli/#commands
However, note that you can list the deployed functions in the Google Cloud console (not the Firebase one) by opening: https://console.cloud.google.com/functions/list?project=your_project_name
