   Hey! You can configure it using the options schema argument: https://typesaurus.com/api/schema/#app

   @kossnocorp apologies for raising this again, I tried using the schema option like you have suggested, but it didn't work as expected.

   Below is the logic used in typesaurus to get firestore, when we pass { app: 'some-name' } assuming some-name is the name of the firestore database. we are getting app instance with different name, but firestore is still using default database (getFirestore logic added below). Also I don't see a option to pass to initializeApp

   export function firestore(options) {
     const appName = options?.server?.app || options?.app;
     const app = getApp(appName);
   
     if (options?.server?.preferRest) {
       return initializeFirestore(app, {
         preferRest: options?.server?.preferRest,
       });
     } else {
       return getFirestore(app);
     }
   }

   getFirestore from firebase.js

   export function getFirestore(app: App, databaseId: string): Firestore;
   
   export function getFirestore(
     appOrDatabaseId?: App | string,
     optionalDatabaseId?: string
   ): Firestore {
     const app: App = typeof appOrDatabaseId === 'object' ? appOrDatabaseId : getApp();
     const databaseId =
       (typeof appOrDatabaseId === 'string' ? appOrDatabaseId : optionalDatabaseId) || DEFAULT_DATABASE_ID;
     const firebaseApp: FirebaseApp = app as FirebaseApp;
     const firestoreService = firebaseApp.getOrInitService(
       'firestore', (app) => new FirestoreService(app));
     return firestoreService.getDatabase(databaseId);
   }

   @kossnocorp Can we get a bit of love on this issue and get this merged and released? Not being able to select a different DB is a hard blocker for many I'm sure. This feature has been GA in Firestore since February.

   @kossnocorp are there any updates on this? It's critical to my work that we're able to specify DBs
