CharityDiscount Firebase Functions, Hosting and DB Config

Running locally

The Firebase Local Emulator Suite can be used to run the system on your machine:

0. Navigate into the functions directory
1. Install the firebase CLI tools: npm install -g firebase-tools
2. Fetch the environmental variables with firebase functions:config:get | ac .runtimeconfig.json (you might have to delete the content of the file before)
3. Compile the source code: npm run build
4. Start the suite: firebase emulators:start --import=<path_to_initial_data_or_data_exported_from_production> (you can add --export-on-exit=<path_to_export_data> to store the data - the emulator does not persist any data)
5. Create some users in auth (doesn't support data export/import) by making a request to the populateAuthUsers https function (see terminal for complete URL).
