Hello, we want to use firebase init as part of automatization. We know it can’t be run with SA, so always human will run, but still we want have script that will always produce same results.

What we now need is to be able :

• Turn on Firestore by parameter
• Turn on Functions by parameter
• Ideally do not run any “wizard parts”

Plus we need to know how to setup default location (https://firebase.google.com/docs/projects/locations), otherwise firebase init always fail for us with : Error: Cloud resource location is not set for this project but the operation you are attempting to perform in Cloud Firestore requires it. Please see this documentation for more details: https://firebase.google.com/docs/projects/locations

Thanks for your help!

@gautamsingal the documentation would go here: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-tools/blob/master/src/commands/init.js#L26

Some things you might want to mention:

• The firebase init command is an interactive setup command to build your firebase.json file and bootstrap Firebase services.
• You can use firebase init to add a new Firebase product to your project even if you have already run init before. For example you could run firebase init hosting on a project that is already using Cloud Functions.
• You can initialize a single feature by running something like firebase init firestore
