How to change firebase realtime database URL in React

Question

How can i change database url (firebase real time db) in code? I would like to have option to choose which database you want (just different links)

I have firebaseConfig.ts file where is my firebaseconfig variable that contains apikey, authDomain, databaseURL, ...

If you have that config, you can change the databaseURL property in there to point to the database you want. Did it not work when you tried that? If so, can you show what you did and what error you got? — Frank van Puffelen

You can have multiple firebase configs in an object like

var configs = {"option1":{},"option2":{}}

and then initialise them all with different names like

var databases = {}
Object.keys(configs).map((name)=>{
  const app = firebase.initializeApp(configs[name],name);
  databases[name]=app;
})

then based on the choice you can access the database and access the db and change the values etc

const app = databases["option1"]
//access the realtime db and so on
