How do I import JSON files to firebase without importing manually

Question

Currently, to import bulk data to firebase, we have to go to our firebase console browse for json file and import it in. e.g. of import button

However, I want to import it without going in to the console. That is, my system (web app) will allow admin to override all data in database with a default JSON file.

I don't think the Firebase API (https://www.firebase.com/docs/web/guide/saving-data.html) provide such feature. Any recommendations?

Create a reference to the root of your database and simply set the JSON there.

firebase.database().ref().set({
  whatever: 'JSON'
});

This replaces everything that is currently in your database.
