Authentication with Service Account

[universe-42]

According to official Google library its the best way how to work with resources (at least for beginners). I can try write PR, but please tell me your opinion for this. Thanks.

Do not use API keys for local or production applications. For almost all cases, you should use service accounts. (Authentication DOC)

Create Kreait\Firebase\Factory() instance using your service account credentials and then create MrShan0\PHPFirestore\FirestoreClient('firebase-project-id', null). Yes, you can push null as your API Key. Then use setHttpClient($FACTORY->createApiClient()); to use the Service Account credentials with FirestoreClient.

Example:-

$FACTORY = (new \Kreait\Firebase\Factory)->withServiceAccount('service-account-path.json');
$FIRESTORE_CLIENT = new MrShan0\PHPFirestore\FirestoreClient('project-id', null);
$FIRESTORE_CLIENT->setHttpClient($FACTORY->createApiClient());
var_dump($FIRESTORE_CLIENT->listDocuments('/some-collection/')); //Works Perfectly
