I solved my problem by inserting my firebase initializer code piece into manage.py. Plus, it also works in settings.py.
For example, the manage.py file can be rearranged as follows:
import os, sys
import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials, firestore
def main():
"""Run administrative tasks."""
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE', 'api.settings')
try:
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
if not firebase_admin._apps:
cred = credentials.Certificate('./FILE_PATH.json')
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)
except ImportError as exc:
raise ImportError(
"Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
"available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
"forget to activate a virtual environment?"
) from exc
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
or you can simply add the following lines to anywhere in settings.py:
import firebase_admin
from firebase_admin import credentials
if not firebase_admin._apps:
cred = credentials.Certificate('./FILE_PATH.json')
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred)
I hope this answer helps others.
