Firebase hosting rewrites on localhost?

I am working on a website locally on (Apache - Xampp) and deploying it on firebase to push changes to my domain. Everything works except the hosting "re-writes" on localhost don't follow firebase.json (for obvious reasons).

Is there a way I can sync firebase hosting rewrites to a .htaccess file automatically, instead of manually managing two different files. Or any other local server which respects firebase.json's hosting rewrites.

Example rewrites:

"rewrites": [ {
    "source": "/",
      "destination": "/homepage.html"
    },
    {
      "source": "/another",
      "destination": "/another-page.html"
    },
]

Thanks, in advance.

Solution

  • Found it myself.

    firebase serve

    will create local version of the firebase hosting at http://localhost:5000

    All the rewrites will work with localhost:5000
