What is FireCMS?

FireCMS is a developer-first, open-source headless CMS and admin panel framework built with React and TypeScript. It connects natively to Firebase & Firestore (with MongoDB support too) and generates powerful CRUD views, forms, and data management tools from your schema configuration.

It's designed for developers who want full control and extensibility, while providing an exceptional editing experience for non-technical users.

✨ Key Highlights

• 🔥 Native Firebase & Firestore integration — real-time data, auth, and storage out of the box
• 🤖 AI-powered features — autofill fields with GPT/Gemini, generate collections with AI, and query data with natural language (DataTalk)
• 🎨 Visual schema editor — build and modify data models from the UI, with automatic schema inference from existing data
• ✍️ Notion-style rich text editor — block-based content editing with slash commands and AI autocomplete
• ⚡ Blazing fast — built on Tailwind CSS (v4) for maximum performance, replacing the old MUI/emotion stack
• 🧩 Radical extensibility — if you can build it in React, you can build it in FireCMS

Features

🏓 Spreadsheet-Style Collection View

An incredibly fast, windowed spreadsheet view with inline editing, real-time updates, filtering, sorting, and text search. Switch between multiple view modes: spreadsheet table, card grid, and Kanban board — automatically available for collections with enum properties.

🤖 AI-Powered Data Management

• AI Autofill — generate titles, descriptions, translations, and more using context-aware prompts powered by OpenAI and Google Gemini
• AI Collection Generation — describe your data model in natural language and let AI build your schema
• DataTalk — query and update your data using natural language. Ask things like "Show all products over $100" or "Update all out-of-stock items"

🎨 Visual Schema Editor & Data Inference

Design your data models visually with 20+ field types and advanced validation rules. Or, connect to an existing Firestore/MongoDB database and let FireCMS automatically infer your schema — go from zero to admin panel in minutes.

✍️ Notion-Style Rich Text Editor

A beautiful block-based editor with slash commands, drag-and-drop blocks, keyboard shortcuts, and AI-powered text completion. Built on TipTap v3.

📥📤 Data Import & Export

Import data from CSV, JSON, and Excel with an intuitive field mapper and validation UI. Export collections to CSV or JSON with customizable date formats and array serialization.

✨ Robust Forms & Custom Fields

Over 20 built-in field types including references, markdown, file uploads, arrays, maps, enums, date/time, geopoints, and more. Create custom fields as React components for anything else. Supports conditional fields, validation rules, and a Notion-style content editor.

🖥️ Full-Screen & Side Panel Entity Views

Edit entities in a side panel or expand to full-screen mode. Navigate through subcollections, access custom views, and build secondary forms — all with undo/redo support and local draft persistence.

🕐 Entity History & Audit Trail

Track every change with built-in history. Compare versions, see who changed what and when, and safely revert to previous states.

👮 Roles, Permissions & User Management

Granular role-based access control for collections, fields, and actions. Manage users and roles directly from the UI, or define permissions programmatically in code.

🔄 Real-Time Data

Every view — collections, forms, and custom views — supports real-time updates. Changes sync instantly across all connected users.

🗂️ File Storage

Seamless integration with Firebase Storage for images, videos, and documents. Supports file uploads, drag-and-drop, image resizing, and custom storage implementations.

🧩 Custom Views & React Extensibility

Build entirely custom views (dashboards, previews, analytics) as React components and add them to the main navigation or as entity-level tabs. Use built-in hooks like useSideEntityController, useSnackbarController, and useAuthController to interact with FireCMS.

🎨 Component Library (@firecms/ui)

A standalone, production-ready component library built on Tailwind CSS and Radix UI. Fully typed, accessible, and customizable. Use it in FireCMS or in any React project:

npm install @firecms/ui

🏠 Customizable Home Page

Organize collections into groups with drag-and-drop, favorites, and search. Supports custom branding, logos, and themes.

🖥️ CLI

Deploy custom code to FireCMS Cloud with a single command:

firecms deploy
