Firestore Setup Guide

Deploy Security Rules

Your Firestore database is created but has restrictive security rules. To deploy the LegalMind security rules:

Option 1: Using Firebase CLI (Recommended)

# Install Firebase CLI if not already installed
npm install -g firebase-tools

# Login to Firebase
firebase login

# From the backend directory, deploy rules
firebase deploy --only firestore:rules --project=legalmind-486106

Option 2: Manual Update in Console

  1. Go to Google Cloud Console
  2. Select project: legalmind-486106
  3. Navigate to Firestore Database
  4. Click Rules tab
  5. Replace the default rules with the content from firestore.rules
  6. Click Publish

Authentication Setup

The Google Firestore client library will automatically use Application Default Credentials if available:

For Local Development

If you're using a local service account key:

  1. Create a service account in Google Cloud Console
  2. Download the JSON key file
  3. Set in .env.local: 
    GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json

For Google Cloud Environment

If running on Google Cloud (App Engine, Cloud Run, Compute Engine):

  • Credentials are automatically provided by the environment
  • No additional setup needed

Verify Connection

After updating security rules, test the connection:

# Restart backend
cd backend
python main_new.py

The backend should now successfully connect to Firestore and the API should work.

Database Collections

Once connected, the following collections will be automatically created:

  • sessions - Chat session storage
  • messages - Message history
  • contracts - Uploaded contract documents
  • clauses - Extracted contract clauses
  • thinking_logs - Agent reasoning/thinking process
  • documents - Generated legal documents
