Initialiaze from FIREBASE_CONFIG environment variable

[pantos27]

Can you give an example of the data that should be in the FIREBASE_CONFIG environment variable when calling initializeApp
I see that there should be an object in the 'credential' property
But it also checks for a method called 'getAccessToken'

firebase-app.js:203

if (typeof credential !== 'object' || credential === null || typeof credential.getAccessToken !== 'function') {
            throw new error_1.FirebaseAppError(error_1.AppErrorCodes.INVALID_APP_OPTIONS, "Invalid Firebase app options passed as the first argument to initializeApp() for the " +
                ("app named \"" + this.name_ + "\". The \"credential\" property must be an object which implements ") +
                "the Credential interface.");
        }

How can I create this method through the environment variable string?

Hey there! I couldn't figure out what this issue is about, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hmmm this issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

You cannot set credential via FIREBASE_CONFIG. It is for setting other Firebase options (databaseURL, projectId etc). SDK will resort to using Application Default Credentials when initialized in this manner.
