Initial setup, build tools and dependencies

1. Clone this repo

Clone or download this repo and open the quickstarts/big-ben directory.

2. Create a Firebase project and configure the quickstart

Create a Firebase Project on the Firebase Console.

Set up your Firebase project by running firebase use --add, select your Project ID and follow the instructions.

3. Install the Firebase CLI and enable Functions on your Firebase CLI

You need to have installed the Firebase CLI. If you haven't run:

npm install -g firebase-tools

Doesn't work? You may need to change npm permissions.

Try the sample locally

Start serving your project locally using firebase serve --only hosting,functions

Open the app in a browser at https://localhost:5000/bigben.

A page containing a repeated number of "BONG" will be displayed.

Deploy the app to prod

First you need to install the npm dependencies of the functions:

cd functions && npm install; cd ..

This installs locally the Firebase SDK and the Firebase Functions SDK.

Deploy to Firebase using the following command:

firebase deploy

This deploys and activates the bigben Function.

The first time you call firebase deploy on a new project with Functions will take longer than usual.

Try the sample on prod

After deploying the function you can open the following URL in your browser:

https://<your-project-id>.firebaseapp.com/bigben

A page containing a repeated number of "BONG" will be displayed.
