SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
    (BETA) This command starts a local Firestore emulator.

EXAMPLES
    To start the local Firestore emulator, run:

        $ gcloud beta emulators firestore start

    To bind to a specific host and port, run:

        $ gcloud beta emulators firestore start --host-port=0.0.0.0:8080

    To run the local Firestore emulator with a Firebase Rules set, run:

        $ gcloud beta emulators firestore start --rules=firestore.rules

FLAGS
     --host-port=HOST_PORT
        The host:port to which the emulator should be bound. Can take the form
        of a single address (hostname, IPv4, or IPv6) and/or port:

            [ADDRESS][:PORT]

        In this format you must enclose IPv6 addresses in square brackets: e.g.

            [2001:db8:0:0:0:ff00:42:8329]:8080

        The default value is localhost:8080.

     --rules=RULES
        If set, all projects will use the security rules in this file. More
