Crowdsourcing hotlines

Getting started

Install node and npm, then install firebase tools:

npm install -g firebase-tools

Authorize the firebase CLI:

firebase login

Clone this repo

git clone [email protected]:douglas-watson/crowdcalls.git
cd crowdcalls/

Associate the local files with the remote firebase project:

firebase use --add

Give the project any name, for example default.

Install npm dependencies

cd functions/
npm install

Serve the functions locally for development:

firebase serve --only functions

Once you are happy with your new code, push them to the server:

firebase deploy

Troubleshooting

If requests to the firestore systematically fail with the error "Error: Could not load the default credentials", then get the a "Service account key" json file from Douglas (don't generate a new one or it will break other's code). Place that file outside of the project tree, and store the location of that file in the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable:

# for example:
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=$PWD/../crowdcalls-dev-firebase-adminsdk-<myidentifier>.json

Then this file will be loaded when serving functions locally.

Admin

Set up your account by adding your API key to firebase:

cd functions
firebase functions:config:set twilio.key="API_SECRET"
