How do I set up security rules for Firebase Storage in Vue 3?

To set up security rules for Firebase Storage in Vue 3, you need to define rules in the Firebase console. What specific access do you want to control?

I want to allow only authenticated users to upload files.

You can use the following rule:

service firebase.storage {
  match /b/{bucket}/o {
    match /{allPaths=**} {
      allow read, write: if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}

This rule ensures that only authenticated users can read and write files.

What if I want to restrict access to certain file types?

You can modify the rules to check the file type. For example:

allow write: if request.auth != null && request.resource.contentType.matches('image/.*');

This allows only authenticated users to upload images.

Thanks! How can I test these rules?

You can test your rules in the Firebase console under the 'Rules' tab. There’s a simulator that lets you test different scenarios.
