include firebase/admin with 'import' instead of 'require'

[xd2]

Summary

Would prefer import admin from 'firebase-admin' syntax instead of require('firebase-admin')

Relevant information

Including sdk with require('firebase-admin') syntax seems mandatory (regarding docs, sample and my own experience) to make firestore mock work.
Otherwise, the firestore mock is not initialised properly and the tests crash at the first collection call.

As moderns Typescript coders, my team and I would prefer a proper import admin from 'firebase-admin') style of include.
Is there a way to initialize the test, mocks etc properly without that ugly require thing ?
Even adding a jest.mock(admin.firestore...) or something would be more acceptable to us.

You guys did a great job, by the way ;-)

Environment (if relevant)

I can provide test sample if needed, but i gess my question is quite self explanatory.

Any updates on this? Can't get the package to work with the import syntax in Typescript.

I'm having the same issue. I use node js with typescript and tests are failing as it's not able to mock firebase-admin with the modern syntax.

Grateful to have found this issue and know that I'm not the only one who was pulling their head out over this. Library is pretty perfect except for this fundamental limitation and while my code will technically run if I mix import and require syntax, I'm not gonna do that for the sake of my sanity.

Bumping to see if I could get a review for #167
